Nevermore

Nevermore!
  I spread my arms to stop you;
    My feet to kick;
      My head raised to defy you;
        My mouth to spit;
          My tongue stuck out to mock you;
            My eyes to pierce;
              Next time I take a deep breath...
                
You have ceased to exist.    
I finally erased you.
