Feel


What does it say about a person

If you wish for them

To

Feel

A

Fierce, searing

Pain

Even more

Irrefutable than

The one inflicted upon

You

By them

Just to prove a point

That what they did

Is

Inexcusable

And undeniably unjust.

How can you hurt another human being like that.

How can you steal their soul

And sink your freshly sharpened teeth

Into their pulmonary vein

And siphon

All of the Love they have ever accumulated in their bone marrow out

And smile.

But what

What

What

Does it say about me

If I know what that feels like

(Regardless)

And

Still

Still

Still

Hope to god

With all my might

That they feel that anyway.
