~Fight~

Eyes sharp as knives
Anger boiling to rage
Grip on her poem tightening
As he read down the page

Why must it always
Be about me?
Leave me alone!
Leave me be!

You're easy to write
About, I know you well
You're my best friend
There's not much else to tell

His eyes softened
At her words
You can't really mean
That, it's absurd

You never believe me
When I say you're perfect, or sweet
I'll keep trying, though
I want to scream in defeat

Because these words
To yourself you can't sell
It drives you mad;
Makes your life a living hell
