new poem from me :]

hopefully the link works but!! new poems!! Jaymes Mantodea is my penname lol

"there's blood under his fingernails

there's blood on the pavement

and he looks at me

like a sheepdog looks to the lamb

i say

you didn't have to do that for me

he says

i wanted to

men whose faces i will never know lay dead

ribs cracked and legs broken

i think to myself

they were human too

i say a prayer to the god of vengeful things

to the boy in front of me, all teeth and limbs

he kisses my forehead

and i slump, sobbing into him

i say

why?

he says

i didn't want them to hurt anyone again."
