the victim


dear lizzie,

 

you killed me

and the 

circumstantial 

death was ruled by you

 

you saw me suffer

you saw me cry

and even in the

worst of times

you still took

my fucking life

 

i tried so hard

so damn hard 

to please you

 

but the 

death you gave me

was your final thought

 

even though you

won

i have found 

something greater than 

winning

 

i found your 

heart

at the bottom of 

the river

 

sorry

 

sincerely,

 

your victim
