A boy tells a girl that he loves her and she eats him.  
The next time he falls in love he doesn't tell her and she wastes away.
Sometimes he crumbles bones between his fingers,
just to feel powerful.  
Then he cries and howls at the moon.
Once he thought he was a werewolf and people avoided him because he wasn't normal.
He is strange and they dislike this, because it doesn't compute.  

There is another girl.  
He can see her in his dreams, and she sways like a cornstalk in a gentle summer wind.
He wants to snap her, and licks his lips and cannot wait.  
She is so beautiful.  He undresses her and she has holes for eyes.
He touches the holes that are her eyes.  They dissolve.  They are stars.  
Somehow he has gone wrong,
and he realises this is just another dream.  
He sees himself in his dreams and he is stronger and bolder.
Harder, faster, older, stronger.
He pumps iron every day in the gym - it's better than being alone.  
He knows what it's like to be alone.

He has always been alone, but that's worse than never being alone.
He likes to hear the stars singing.
The other people won't let him.  He kills them.
Kills them all with his eyes and his heart and his tongue.
His tongue is his most dangerous weapon.
He kills them with his tongue and they all fall down dead.
Just like that.  
He likes to feel powerful like that.  Sometimes he holds a gun.
Just holds it.  Sometimes he shoots teddy bears.  
They should have listened when he told them how powerful he was.  
Just how powerful.  

He tells a girl he loves her and once again is eaten.
He crumbles lives between his fingers,
just to feel powerful.  
This isn't one of my ordinary poems, I don't think.


I'm so angry with myself today. Why?

you have opened up this style of the declarative hypothetical and it's making for some interesting pieces my friend :hug:
