who are you and what have you done with

i wish i could say everything will be alright;
instead, all i can do is smile and whisper the truth through crooked teeth.

and i wish that football games and saturday nights tired and hungry and feeling alive
could be enough to make me forget that you were everything i didn't want

but i still wanted you;
and it took me so long to figure out why.
but now that i know,
i can't fucking stand you.

i can't fucking stand you,
but you won't fucking leave me alone

  1. BEAST poem dude. Very relateable too. Lotta passion in this, you wrote it right?

    Oh, and just for the record, I have always found consistent swearing it poetry unnecessary.

  2. i like swearing in poetry; its an expression of emotion in a more human way than just packed on metaphors; often, at least for me, it makes it easier to relate to it. and yes, i did write it
