I AM

I am:
Unwanted,
Nobody's old rag doll,
A vanished memory,
A dust bunny
Under a cheap whore's creaking bed-
I am that old heartache,
That irritating, ugly scab
Itching and clawing at you
From underneath your shining perfection.
I am the silent witness,
A scream in a mad girl's dream,
The rotten vegetable
At the bottom of your lukewarm fridge.
I am the maggot,
Eating your flesh and your soul
From the inside out,
An old love note
Thrown out with Yesterday's garbage.
I am your discarded lover,
Your unpaid prostitute,
Selling you my love
For your empty compliments,
Rejected and returned
Like an unopened letter.
I am your feverish nightmare,
Your most cherished enemy
With my persistence as the only proof
Of all you've left behind.
