Fall

I imagine what was running through your head
When those words slipped
Out
Of your mouth
I picture your expression
As those sounds escaped your cherry lips
What is your intention?
Whatever
It is
Just stop
Stop!
You’ve been glowing
All your life
But I believe it’s my moment
Now
I wish that I could yell
Into your innocent little face
Then to see it crumble and fall
Shrivel and break
To reveal your flaws
Then I will seem the victor
For a little while
Until my words bring me to hell.
