I will not smash your car up

although the thought did once occur

I will not post the truth

on socials and then block you.

I will not give you fuel for "she's crazy, her".

.

I will take a writer's revenge;

I will make you into poetry.

I will cut you up and twist you

and make you into only words;

this is what you have done to me.

.

I will write about a nameless you

and all his filthy little lies.

I will put down all the hurt;

all my wounds and bruises

inflicted by your lying eyes.
