I've been going berserk over this incident that happened back in goddamn January and its literally been eating away at me inside. And in light of my recent Philosophy class talks, I realize that I'm letting something have power over me. So here's this little poem for you. Truth be told, I was just talking to my English professor about how I haven't written poetry in a long while, so you've done me a favor by getting me back into it. Devour + Enjoy.

"I Can't Hate You Anymore"

Putred, pouty petal lips
Photosynthetic paisley eyes
I'd smell your poison any day, if you'd asked me.
The obvious detracts me from finding out the truth
And I spin 'round in my footsteps when you're 'round me.

And all I ever wanted was to have my cake and eat it, too
But I can choke you out, if you'd just ask me
Perfect little bullshit world
It's heaven in a nutshell, dear
Shattered like my memories, everlasting
But I don't hate you anymore, if you're asking.
