The Sadists Sonnet
My lips split in the middle
Molten voices in my ears
Hey, what if I just stabbed myself in the eye?
My computer responds with a scream
*CONSIDER THIS A WARNING*
Only cowards buy safety pins
Real men aren’t women
Real women are beautiful
My face reflects back at me in my phone
*be happy* flashes up on the screen
It’s on my bucket list
I see him everywhere like a hallucination
“Oh my god, I think I’m in love with you”
Yeah right, hallucinations love to hallucinate
Or maybe he turned into a real boy
Whose mocking adoration melted under your gaze
Stay furious. Stay fucked.
Looks of a Picasso and temperament of Nietzsche
Will only get you as far as the train tracks on Valentine’s Day
As many ways out as people on planet earth
But a coward shoots like a girl
And a girl shuts up and swallows
Found a real boy on 3rd street hanging from a palm tree by a pink ribbon
They say “he did what she asked him to”
But I think he was a coward
And a coward in crisis is still a coward
Even though his bleeding heart made it past your phone screen
I tied him up there on my birthday (as a gift)
Then met my dad on the train tracks
I’m a daddy’s girl, cuz I can’t hear the bitch cry from underneath my feet
