The Love I Deserved ── A poem by Unidya on SpaceHey

I knew how he lived his life. I knew that he hurried away to a babysitting job after school on Wednsdays. I knew that he cooks his family dinner every Monday. I knew that he still falls asleep in the arms of his stuffed animals. I knew that he liked soccer. I knew that he liked Sleeping in class. I knew that he hated the weekends. I knew that he did his homework in the presence of his parents in the evenings. And I knew that he liked a girl. A girl whose eyes were the darkest suns. A girl whose hair was as light as time. A girl whose thoughts rested on education. A girl whose roses pierced everyone around her. She pierced me. But in a different way. I should've done something about her sooner, instead I thought that he would just leave the girl be. I was so wrong. I had to take things into my own hands. Sling, slash, crack, and splash. My floor stained red. He could finally be mine, As if I had done nothing wrong. As if I hadn't stalked him for the past year. As if I hadn't pushed every girl away from him. As if I hadn't kidnapped his crush. As if I hadn't killed her brutally. I could have the love I deserved.
