urge purged (Free verse) by caffrey
I am your smiling source of envy
polished teeth and all
a metal bite on your exposed neck
the taste of bitterness
so sweet
I am your snarling source of grief
try as you might
not a cell to spare in your haste to bemuse
the murderous spirit screams
in jealous shoes
swallowing pride one morsel at a time
I am your crying insides
your burning need to impress
your uncomfortable hands when you feel their eyes
yes judging
always judging
I am your blood cloud
through the plastic window of a rusty spike
because you finally gave in
alone I feed
today you died
