I saw her walk past me
God I wanted to strangle her
Just to wrap my hands around her thin little neck
That he was nibbling on last night
I just wanted her eyes to cloud
And look at me while I hurt her

I saw her run her hands through her hair
Carelessly and flirting
With no one really at all
Just showing off her unparalleled beauty
But she stung me
With her piercing eyes
And her perfect smell

I want to see her crawl
In pain
And arch her back in the pleasure that it would give me
To throw daggers at it
And her legs
Tied apart from each other
Her hands the same way
I just want to kill her
Slowly though
Because that’s the way she said she’d take things
Slowly.

She closed her eyes
And smiled
But there was something much more to her
I don’t know why
She smiled but she wasn’t smiling
I saw her
But not her scars
And I saw her smile
But not her tears
And I hate her so much

For looking so right when the time was wrong
And for always pretending things were okay
When they weren’t.
And they crashed down like satellites around her
Dead bugs around her
No air around her
All of them around her


But I turned around
And walked out
Away from my mirror
And away from
The girl that I hate the most in the world.

Damn...You are so powerful with words. I just want to say, thank you for being so great. I hope you do find love in yourself, and I hope this doesn't come out wrong, like I want somebody to hate themselves, it's just, this was so great to read a piece of art about somebody else feeling how I feel. I hope I made sense...You are awesome Miss Mars.

Absolutely amazing. Intense, sharp, and definitely an attention grabber. Fav. Stanza is the one before the last - "And they crashed down like satellites around her Dead bugs around her No air around her All of them around her" - again, amazing write, thank you ~Downstream~

This piece really made me think about why we (as a supposedly "enlightened" society) continue to perpetuate the bullshit the media feeds to young women so they have to write poetry like this....*shakes head sadly*

I love the description here, the poem was well done. On the note of the topic I'm sorry to hear that though, you shouldn't hate yourself Mars...

I absolutely agree with him... But I think that where's hate, there is power. And that power is also in some way expressed in this poem. In my humble opinion.
