Part 1//the beginning
"There's other fish in the sea"
Well yeah, of course there are
But those fish could never compare to my fish
My fish was beautiful
Bright, Royals blues, and pure gold radiated from him
Pure...
He was pure before the poison-filled crimson of my fins intertwined with his
What once were the most pure, beautiful scales
Are now excruciating to look at
His once beautiful fins are now soiled with a dark, crimson red
An ugly reminder of what I did to him
Part 2//the end
The royal blues are pure gold your fins once held
Were stained by the crimson of mine
Now, the once beautiful ribbons of your fins that once dragged me in
Feel more like a noose around my neck
What once was beautiful
Is now a deadly weapon
The gold has faded, to reveal layers of razors
Begging to drag me in
I refuse to give in again.
