Pretty

By Kaveri Talukder

"You look so pretty 

With glassy eyes”

And you would look prettier dead.

"You look so pretty

Standing here in front of me"

And you would look prettier out of my sight.

"You look so pretty..."

"You look so pretty..."

"You look so pretty..."

Tear out your heart 

And keep it as a souvenir 

Your bottle of tears is displayed on my shelf 

Screams melt

And mould the cup 

You're holdin; 

The burns form the 

Tea

Can be soothed by 

The most useless 

"Sorry"

All of your insecurities 

Are my greatest treasure.

I use them to fight against 

The person who I want to destroy the most.

You have turned into an empty shell

-The most flavoured meal for my ego
