[apiphile]

not really worth a title

i. When things were bad I was good
for you, the medicine you needed
and now things are good I'm bad;
a warning must be heeded.

ii. You should lose the love
from inside your heart
because it's just "collateral damage"
until it's your mother
kneeling with her throat
at the blade.

iii. Envy: because you know
the mask you wore, and you
tore it from your face and left
your skin in the sun for the
world to see; because I have
no idea what lies beneath the paint
and the wooden smiles.
