everyone else wants me
to be pretty but you told me
I am not ugly enough
hear my rage now
look at me while I cry
he acts like my existence
is a burden
and all I want to do
is to scream right into
his face
and show him all that blood
suffering, tears and emptiness
he left me with
the sun has not shined so
brightly until I met him
my damaged body
so heavy from all that shame
felt so light
when he was the one viewing it
I was just like his painting
right above his bed
beautiful and lovable
and then he set me on fire
mindlessly
I want him to burn with me
am I bad for wanting him
to never forget about
what he has done to me?
all my colours are plain now
I need to see regret in his eyes
that once seemed so blazing
he betrayed me
and all I am now
is idle creature
calling herself human
I am nothing without his perception
he was the heart beating in my chest
he kept me alive.
