I am so happy for you
my heart bursts with joy
from my chest cavity
leaving nought but a ragged, empty hole
to be bared upon the cold stone ground
to the world
insecure, fragile
poking out to see the light
after so long in the darkness
suppressed
repressed
forgotten
Brought out once more
coaxed out with the delicate light of hope
of promise
only for you to tread upon
with dainty heels and merry laughter
like the sound of silver bells
dancing on the night air

I am so happy for you
so very fucking happy
I lie on the ground
Spasming and wretching
overwrought with how fucking gleeful I am
I am so jolly pleased
that it's killing me,
and you're too happy to know
or care
There is venom in your smile
and the lovelight in your eye
you're only too wilful to ignore
My face cracking apart
under the strain of a smile
You are in your own world
and you see what you want
You see your own happiness
reflected in the faces of others
mirrored in my tears
screaming back with a violent desperation

I am so very happy for you
I can hardly contain it
it constricts my throat
and strangles the life
right out of me
escaping me as
a series of broken sobs
and white hot tears
with which I tell you
I'm so happy for you,
I wish not but the very best to you both.
Sort of a companion to this only not quite as cryptic. Because apparently that's cryptic. HA.


I think that rather than persist in plaguing the world with my sadness thinly veiled as terrible poetry and other such cynicisms, I ought to just cut to the chase and kill myself. Seems like it would save a lot of strife on all sides, does it not? Oh how jolly good, I am glad we've come to a decision that works for everyone.

Just before valentines day too, thank god I'll be missing that.
