Today, a friend told me: "don't let her see you be emotional if she reads your stuff. You're going to give her power"
I replied: "She isn't reading and she doesn't care about me. That's what happens when you become the villain, they warp you so it's easier to throw you away. I'm irrelevant and she got the new hotness. I'm the last thing she's thinking about. As for everyone else, if they don’t know I’m emotional by now, I prolly don't fuck with them anyway"
-A DM conversation I had about writing about exes online.
I don't even warrant a temple
like you built for pieces of shit
and faded lovers haunting
your tormented mind
I care more than I should
about my legacy in your heart
even though to you I’m now
a failed pretender to your throne,
"I've lost all ambition for worldly acclaim, I just want to be the one you loooove"
We used to sing Fallout songs to each
other through turbulent times,
twenties rhymes about devotion,
"I'll love you all your life but that may not be too long, crawl out through the fallout Wubba..."
The end of our world came quicker
than I thought it would,
so did being forgotten by you,
did all my sacrifice mean anything,
scooped out of me willingly
money I didn’t have so you could smoke,
emotion invested so you felt less broken,
love to make you feel less beaten,
yet you danced out in the summer time season,
here in the fall I still feel so weakened.
I should've cut this umbilical cord
a long time ago,
she's only using it to tie off
Another broken person
unwilling to take accountability
for taking much and giving little
It's my fault though,
devourers consume until
you stop them with force
They feign ignorance
when you show them their
teeth marks in your skin
Questioning the bleeding wrist
and the slumped shoulders
and the furrowed brow speeches
Remorseless leeches only
feel bad when they're caught
held up to the light, twisting for more blood
How much more can I give
when y'all treat me like garbage
god forbid I open my mouth to bitch.
