Chainsaw

I never planned on letting you back into my life but last night after I drank enough black label to float my scars and let my eyes swim back into delusion you kicked in the door to my apartment with your new boyfriend that tweaker you shacked up with when I left you I don't know what you two were looking for but you found me with my roommate playing Russian roulette with a saw with a diamond tipped chain and just enough gas to crank He was about to put it to my neck and pull the chord when the door flew off the hinges I heard you scream and I smiled Thankful that I could scare someone else as much as I scare myself -James Kelley 2015, All rights reserved.

I loved "enough black label to float my scars and let my eyes swim back into delusion." Well done.
