The writer.

She spits fire through her words.
Her soul is burning with stories of hurt.
She pens them down one by one,
Taking the blood as her ink.
The judgemental stares,
And the unjust allegations
Fuel the fire of her thoughts.
Looking into her deep eyes,
You may see the magma bubbling deep red.

Okay readers i am really not able to write a lot these days. Somewhat due to the work and also because this blank void kinda thing in my head, just can’t get anything good to pen down.

All I see are promises
he could so easily keep.
Tell me to move on, I said.
He told me to move on.
How do I move?
How do…

I am gathering up the words
for what it means to be—
what it feels like to be—to be what?
Lost?
Left?
Hurt?
Used?
Betrayed?
Mistaken?
The words I want to say to you are ugly—
they contain a meaning that opposes love.
The words I want to use
are the antithesis of love
because there is no more of it in me.
I want the words I feel to grow
wings
wheels
weight
I want them to steamroll your stupid lunch,
infect your stomach with angry butterflies,
to make you feel sick with guilt
for telling me what you told her
and her
and her
and her
and her
and there are probably even more hers—
interesting hers—
and that should be all I need to know
to get on with things,
to go back
to what can never again be normal
because you’re the kind of man-scum
