I wanted to let you know that I fully enjoyed listening to you tell your stories regarding your infected cysts and hemorrhoids. Your voice bellowing so loud I think the whole restaurant could hear you. I am sure the other patrons enjoyed it as much as I did. At least you helped me with my diet, for that I thank you. Thank you for all the times you said too much too the wrong people. Thank you for making me feel unwanted and unneeded and less than your son. The perfect boy. That you endlessly brag about. Thank you for everything. And if you are dumb enough to believe these thank yous are true. Then you may be dumb enough to believe I love you too.

My darling,

Your words are like

A strange poison.

I bleed from the mouth

When I rebuke you,

But your syllables silence me.

I choke disgustingly on

The letters you speak.

Your words are like

A strange poison.

Give me more.

The dirty looks are getting old

I hate it when you glance at your "friends" and then back at me

When you think I can't see you from the corner of my eye

Every action makes me tick

The picture you took of a sign

With a word that used to mean something before you stood next to it

Just so you know?

I told a girl that you only took it for Instagram

Just so you know?

She laughed.

Guess what?

There's another person I hate

Among many more

Who isn't worth my time.
