something wretched this gay numbs


have you ever seen me fondly?
reflecting upon times that should have found happiness
but cheated and found dismay instead,
i wonder just how i can whittle
my way into your head and see me.

passenger or prisoner?
is there some sentiment weathered into your bones for me,
or am i just a palling blight
on the power of your name?

what is this?
hateful condemnation i see dripping from your lips,
brandished in the name of 'love'.

persecution or protection?
sprouted from you and yet nothing.

fuck you.
