apokaluptÅ
By Devil-lyn
winters bane
fogs on
my breath
I detest the taste
of mint
toothpaste
at six
in the morning
it fucks
with my coffee
and my toilet
can’t bear
another stench of you
you are
vindictive
and evil
vile
and disturbing
like the petals
on a broken rose
butchered by thorns;
you have no concept
of pretty
you’ve broken
my poetry
into a cardiac dismal
and there is no love
here
for you
in the forest
of my dark
for I am
nameless
faceless
blameless
a creature
you’ve mentally raped
by the cannabis
of your psychosis
and self-prophesized
misery
excuse me
while I rip out
your pages of poetic pity
lodged in your fucking
throat
for not even worth
you are
of a histories
history
we could have been
something
and now
you’re nothing
and I think
I actually like it
this way

I love a good piece of scathing honesty, especially when it's crafted by a brilliant poet like yourself. Excellent work.

The leadup of this was great, but the last three stanzas blew me away in their intensity and emotion. Bitterness and anger are the two emotions I pick up, with an underlying bit of acceptance and enjoyment (perhaps due to the destruction??) at the end.

I don't know. I sense a lot of love here, D. They say that you can't truly obsess over someone until you attempt to destroy them first. What's a little betrayal in exchange for a lot of dishonesty? Tell me, is the "for you" put there to keep it outside, or because it doesn't belong there? You can be so obtuse at times, but in a good way. Still, this poem made me feel something. Thank god you didn't write it back in 2012, or I would have just felt crazy. =(
