#i had to explain ex-aid to my old white man prof because of this poem

[mahounostairs]

Ouroboros

The first of two poems that I like, wrote from Kuroto's POV about Emu for a poetry class I'm being forced to take for my major

You are so many things to me all at once.

I long for you, I detest you so,

You are the reason I am like this,

I am the one who molded who you are.

You wish for my true smile, I thrive from your despair

My Adam, my Virgin Mother Mary.

How I still desire your crystal; your heart

To take it into my bare hands and

crush it into dust, shatter you so that

you can never be the pure “you” you once were.

Although, I cannot determine how to do so.

How do I want to see that light fade from your eyes?

Do I want your blood on my hands?

Do I want you entangled in my sheets?

The more I question it, the more the lines blur.

No matter what, it will make you truly “mine.”

A nemesis, an ally; never a friend.

You cried for me the first time I died.

Despite everything I had done to you.

I know you don’t forgive me, nor am I asking for such.

The snake shall continue to swallow its own tail.
