You get off at the posters of stars in my bedroom
intergalactic bride and groom procreating on sand dunes
you never felt this way about simple pixels
can’t fix them dimpels, as you smile it’s simple
you’re attracted, you’re attached to stars in the nebula
said you love their bodies and their hair forever, huh?
You can touch them with a luna explorer but
you gotta be rich to own one, not a beggar, nah.
I saw you wandering in the middle of the city
lights bright, closed eyes and teeth all gritty
you were late night sleep walkin’, sleep talkin’, sleep stalkin’
and obsessing over everything you couldn’t get
regressing into everything that you try to forget
Read the rest of the poem Show less
and I was filling up with utter regret,
should I have shown you that poster at the back of my bed?
It filled you with envy to the brim of your head.
So I hole-punched a hole in your cranium and inside was a planet
so stable and I was feeling so jealous, sorta creepy
I stuck in a straw, so sneaky and on the count of three,
after consulting myself and me, I sucked your whole soul out
I made your body breathe cigarette holes of doubt;
consider your body empty, consider your planet useless
you are the new Pluto and I am Earth.
I watched you degrade and degrade until you’re first grade
and then state of your state is absolutely insane,
and you’re not keeping up with the weather
not the sun nor rain
you’re falling to pieces and can barely hold your brain
like a lead weight, and there’s dead hate
boiled up inside me that you will appreciate:
I took your body and made it empty
I took your soul and sold it for twenty
I took your heart and ran over it with a Bentley
because you deserve something strong to destroy you, baby.

"if you're sitting impotent and silently bitching, waiting, then yes, you have succumb. good 'desolate' imagery, such boredom you had! and we all write about ourselves, don't we? like your stuff" -

on AZDROLOJEEST from @weirdelf
"Also has the grittiness of the beat poets, streetwise and dirty. The repetition works well. Don't like the use of Bentley there Maybe "plenty" or "none too gently"? Cheers, Jess, reprehensibly irrepressible" -
