Before you, I was
Kind, soft, believed this world had my best interest at heart,
I liked to think the colour pink and red was for hearts and lovely things 
Like
Flowers and lipstick

But you, you, you
I was a wreck with you, I was sad, angry,
Jealous
I felt real wrath with you, I stopped chewing my words and spat them out
Instead,
I realised with you that pink and red were the colour
Of the marks you left on my
Throat

Maybe this part of me is something I will cherish,
That I can be soft, with eyes like honey-dew and smiles like
Soft velvet,
But my tongue is sharp now, my heart has dulled and my teeth
Are many

I used them to carve you out, didn't I?
You understand that pink and red are the colours of your teary eyes,
Of your blushed nose and wet cheeks

I am you but, so, so much more horrid

I am you but, so, so much more horrid
