my guts

My guts aren't very pretty
are they
after all
they're guts

Guts of pain
guts of fear
guts of anger
revenge
confusion

hatred

Yes, hatred

Hating the pain
the fear
the anger
revenge
confusion

and the need
especially the need
always, the need

the need that
claws at me
at my guts
like a depraved
tormented
beast

Needing
Hating

Needing you
Hating you
Needing me
Hating me?

My guts
aren't very pretty
are they

No, they're not
they're not at all

Are yours
