Poem
You think you’ve gone just far enough, I could smile knowing you’ve gone far enough that you can’t go back again You think you were careful but, I’ve caught a glimpse of your true, wretched form You think you can find a way into my good graces I’ve seen what you are, monsters with a friendly costume You can’t deceive me anymore and, I don’t consort with serpents You think I’m a game to be played but, trust me, you could never win Don’t underestimate me You think I’m a joke but, trust me you won’t be laughing You think I’m just talking myself up but, trust me, you’re the ones going down My eyes took too long to adjust Better late than never It may take a monster to know one but, I promise my teeth are sharper than yours My first reaction to the hideous revelation that was your form was to weep Fall to my knees, maybe even wretch my heart from my chest and onto the carpet Then I thought about the mess it would make I decided the only blood that will spill, will be your own I was not weak, but I had a weakness A heart of soft gold stitched to my sleeve with care No longer Now my heart is a stone so heavy I could kill at least two birds at once Being the nice guy is a thing of the past Thanks for freeing me of that softness You thought I was all sunshine and delicate things When really I had just been swallowing razor blades Now that sun is setting and I hope you see it was you who were wrong Can you feel my darkness coming, because it’s eager to hold you If you thought I was the one who would just stand still or turn to run Your gonna be the one with tired feet I’m not sad anymore Just sick with the plague of your lies Contagious, and I’m looking for someone to kiss Even angels can make themselves wicked When we do, we take no prisoners Still think I’m a game This one is just beginning
