Insert Heart Here

You were a storyteller.

Which is just a nicer word

For liar.

 

Your pen was your greatest

Device, spouting myth

Without apology

Or modesty.

 

And I was

The Woman In Your Life

(Your greatest regret)

 

We lay silent in our beds at night

Dreams our only company.

And I wished

I was just another

Of your stories

 

(So that you might love me)

 

---

 

I grab the pen

From your clenched fist

And write across your

Still chest.

 

‘Insert heart here.’

 

The ink disperses

Slowly

And I watch you become

Just another

Legend

 

 

The undeserving prince

In my twisted fairytale

[Beatrice Mars]

This is good, really good, brilliant in fact. But I can't decide if I actually 'like' it...It's so blunt...I don't know what I'm trying to say. Everytime I read it it feels different and I feel different about it....Great write.
