i don't want to be poetry

when i weep, you see rivers
of stars in my eyes
when i scream,
you hear a siren's cry

and when i bleed
a trail of red behind me
you call it poetic design
well i'm bleeding right now and
it hurts like hell

is this just a love i've never know
gorgeous chaotic reality
or a romanticized fantasy

i don't know, i don't know
all i feel is pain in my crooked veins
and i don't think you see it

- i'm human, not glamorized writing
