They never listen to me,
Always catch the twitch of my smile and ignore the writing on these walls,
The EMERGENCY EXIT signs are always walked past and ignored,
And they never listen,

These words are not just words,
These poems are not just poems,
These are warnings,
These are beware signs,
This is not for show,
You are not supposed to love a supernova,
A shining beacon that will suck you in and obliterate us both without remorse,

I will turn your heart into a forgotten thing,
Another notch on my belt of promises to love I didn’t keep,

Don’t try to turn me into a fairytale you’ll find a horror movie in your midst,
And as the blood drips down your hands you’ll wonder which one of us was stabbed in the chest by a pile of regrets,

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to speak this warning,
My words only seem to mark a scale when I’m standing right here so please,
Listen.
