Loathing

Earlier poem featuring rejection, hate, anger, and pain in starring roles.

Anger builds

Tightening my chest

Wanting to lash out

Scratch out his very existence

Head spins

With the violence inside

Never before

Have I hated this much

Fists clenched

Nails biting my skin

Fighting for control

Losing the battle

Eyes narrow dangerously

Darting fire

Wishing it would

Leave him in ashes

The fire burns

Consuming me completely

And all I can think

Feel, smell, and breathe

Is death.
