A dark poem.

TW: Implied violence

No, I don’t want to hear his name on your lips. 
Stop staring at your phone! 
You act like I am invisible.

It’s like every word I say is an echo. 
It is bouncing off your thick skull!

I thought you were perfect! 
A radiant ball of light in the darkness of my life.

You see this glistening metal resting softly in my hand? 
Here, let me illuminate the situation for you.
I am tired of trying, I will let this steel do the talking!

I love your emerald eyes. 
They are radiant, but red is your color.

(silence)
