Corrode (oh I am so mad)

• Description: Here's something I wrote a while back. No capitalization for a reason, that reason being it diminishes my value as a human being to not capitalize. This is about a boy, obviously, which makes it cheesy and stupid but whatever. This and hundreds of other pieces of mine can be found at FictionPress under the username "the one and only kaybelf".

corrode, by Alice C Meridian


"you were so beautiful

until you threw that bitterness on your face

and corroded it

irreparable, irreplaceable."

---

but you are so irrelevant

your heart was born in 1959

and your body creaky

almost as old

but never weak enough to be mine.

---

and his body so close to mine

if i could forget a sweatshirt i'd be fine

and if arms touching on a swing set

would be erased

i might not turn into

a basket case

---

but whatever

it never

works out anyway.

"the sad bitterness was enough to fill her;

man, if i could

i would just kill her."

you could
slit my wrists for me

cut out the middle man,

i suppose

or spray me with an acid hose

or throw your bitterness back in my face

---

you pathetic excuse for a person

what a mess

what a disgrace.

Oh my goodness, thank you! I just hope more people read it and appreciate it. The quotes are actually paraphrases of things my ex actually said to me changed so that they rhyme. Thanks again! ^_^

The quote parts are my favorite... but it's generally wonderful. Which I don't say here in the writing arena anymore, honestly.
