je suis

i have an enemy...

don't we all??

she has hair as dark as flaming burning pages
of the bible

she has eyes as brown as the most treacherous swamp

her eyebrows, thick and square, lie dormant beneath her hair

there is one giant random little mole on her left brow

she is of relatively normal build i suppose

her biting satire murders my confidence
her caustic thoughts pollute mine
her sulfuric criticism makes me feel small

oh,
so small.
and weak.
and undeserving.
and useless.

she lives in the darkest place,
until i'm dead you will not see
that frightful girl in my autopsy

for she is me
and i am her

-Pamplemousse
