I stood in a room
Around me, everyone I knew
I stood in a room
Faces all I recognized
A sharp whisper,
‘Don’t look at me’
I turned, and
I stood in a room
Around me, faces I knew
A light dimmed,
‘Don’t look at me’
I turned, faster
Around me, faces
I turned in a room
‘Don’t look at me’
Around me, dim shapes
I twisted in a room
‘Don’t look at me’
I searched for someone I knew
I stood in darkness
Around me, nothing
A sharp whisper,
‘You are not alone’
A hand on my shoulder
A light came on
Around me, everyone who loved me
The rest,
Scattered like insects.

[ 3am vent poetry ]
You
Selfish worm.
Dead eyes, despise, jealousy
Your only fire.
How dare you call me yours
When you choked the life out of me
Just for living.
Liar.
You see no good when it doesn’t
Benefit you.
Did you think I wouldn’t notice?
The way you disappeared
Whenever I felt joy
From anywhere but you?
I loved you more than anyone.
You lied to yourself.
Put a monster’s mask on me.
So it would be easier
To tear me apart.
You believe your own lies.
You say you ‘do good’
But,
When someone faceless stumbled,
And blood poured in the ocean,
You were always first to the corpse.
Bottom feeder.
