Sliver

Grist for the mill
Sink in your seat
Claw at your throat; arterial leak
Put the gun between your teeth, choke on the ferrous barrel
Embracing freedom from
My lecherous devil
I can’t even tell you how much I wish you were dead
Everyone can tell that you’re hanging by a thread
I can’t even tell you how much I wish you were dead
Violence is a precipice I’ll pass right through your precious, pampered head
I’m ahead of you every single step of the way
Not a word you said meant fucking anything
A snap at the synapse sits lapsed
Neuron breaks as the myelin creeps back
(You are a)
Selfish
Idiot
Hypocrite
I regret every second spent in your presence
End it
Accept these consequences
Now and forever
A Dickensian waste, finally severed
A thorn in my side
Break skin to bleed
A sliver in the lining of me
There’s nowhere to hide
You’ll always be
A sliver in the shadow of me
