Here Is An Anger Poem

Here is an anger poem, a slamming doors poem, an I told you so poem, a look what the cat dragged in poem, a finally comfortable in my own skin poem, a 
A battle cry, a restraining order, a sharpened scream
Here is a redemption poem, as in i know the crown isn't worth much but i still want it anyway
It still glitters, so perfect it looks fake poem, still knows how to catch the light, 
A somewhere in between me and him you forgot how poem,

This is a poem in which my skin boils, in which you can smell my hair melting, in which my hands forget how to be hands, so they become oceans
This is a poem in which I turn into so much water I could drown you, girl
I could freeze over and not let you up for air 

This is a violent poem, a gladiator poem, a thrown to the wolves poem, too dangerous to write on my skin poem
Your teeth chattering, you become a skeleton right in front of me poem, your bravery with everything else you left behind, 
I am running out the tumbleweed door and into the desert of dry, in which my skin refuses to become an ocean, where my hair denys she was ever a whirlpool, until my eyes forget the meaning of water.

This is a vulture poem, an the end is ny poem, a guillotine poem, 
A the crown should have been left at the palace poem, for it has cost me my head poem. 
He is the executioner, you were the blade poem,
An I don't know you poem, but I did poem
And there are moments where I don't regret it poem
An I can feel myself unraveling from the seams poem, 

This is a lost limb poem, a goodbye blue sky poem, a field of dead sunflowers poem,
How could a piece of me hurt, streetlights are falling like stars, he had opened his arms the moment mine fell off, the school bus has broken down, the smell of gasoline is rising, flames are licking up the side of the metal coffin poem. and
I cannot blame you for filling your body with the kind of wanting blood you knew was once mine
This is an I don't know if i can hate you poem
But I try
