Twisted hearts

Poison running down my veins

A tangle of rope that wraps around me in colors of blue and red.

Cherry red

Deep red that takes up the space of your torso.

A deep red dress that bleeds on your skin

Auburn eyes that seep through the layers of vision and see right through me

How?

Because you're poison.

Red and blue and brunette head full of hair that ruffles like autumn leaves, like rain that drops acid of fire. It's orange and dirty, rusty and red, brown, and deadly.

You're so poison.

And I hate it

I can't have it anymore

No, not anymore

This hazel twists and turns each time you stare into my eyes and then steal a glance at another girl.

So full of judgment.

I fear you

I loath you

I don't want you

It's too complicated for me

The purple rope is in a knot and it's stuck in my throat.

The red rope is wrapped around your hand, a seductive grin on your lips as you put it on your head like a top hat.

You've got me under your spell

I'm under your control

But, I wanna be free

Don't you see

Ugh

It's so gross

Ugh

Too toxic

Too poison

Lips scratch against my skin, ruff on my forehead.

I can't feel anything

You've brought me some food, leftover snacks, it's a nice gesture but it's a hack

It's a trap to keep me under

And I'm not safe with that

It's twisted

All priorities are twisted

And so are our hearts

Mine who was red is now blue

And yours that was purple is now red

Your orange hair is no longer a safe haven, a heaven with melodies of chocolate filled eyes.

Can't you see?

It's goodbye

now

I think it's time to be free

We've twisted each other up

In our own twisted hearts
