I hate you
I hate you
why did you have to
take my heart
if you were just
going to keep it
in a glass jar
on your desk
and not let it beat?

I hate you
I hate you
those were my dreams
you destroyed
you had no right
to even touch them
much less
to take them all
and rip them to ribbons

I hate you
I hate you
the way your bright eyes
saw through me
you knew my lies
for honest truth
you cut me dead still
because you knew
where I was most fragile
gnutmeg: (dark)
you broke my heart today
and you'll never know it
because I'll never say
but you most certainly
broke my heart today

it took all my strength away
and a little of my pride
I threw myself into the fray
but never will I doubt that
took all my strength away

my hope has all been led astray
my own fault, I do admit
too many defeats for it to stay
I have nothing left to dream for
hope has all been led astray

you broke my heart today
it's broken, it's broken
that's all I can really say
broken, broken, you broke it
broke my heart today
gnutmeg: (dark)
don't touch me
it hurts too much
your fingers make me bleed
and your eyes make me scream
you are a lie sent to kill me
well you win, I'm dead

how dare you make me what I am
don't touch me
I could have been your queen
but now I'll be their whore
it's what you wanted
isn't it?

I am the sum of all your thoughts
but you think nothing of me
so that is what I'll be
don't touch me
I'm dirty
and it spreads

I was holding on to these fascinations
the idea of what you could mean
for you
I'll cut out my eyes
and rip out my tongue
don't touch me
gnutmeg: (slash)
your edges are rough
let me smooth them
with my bare hands
I pluck your thorns

the pain is nothing
my love is deadly
sick like poison
keep away from me

can I still love
if I keep distant
I will not hurt you
by being too near
gnutmeg: (samurai)
April is National Poetry Month. To celebrate, I am posting one of my poems every day. You can play along too! Or, if you don't write, post a poem that you love. I would love to see my friendslist filled with poetry all through April.



Yeah, I know, I'm like... almost a week behind now. So! Here's a bunch I've written this week. Enjoy.
