Mine:
1. I think sometimes that you LIKE to suffer
2. Streetlights reflected yellow through the raindrops on the window,and you told me the end of the world flew through earthquakes
3. My lips let a sigh pass through their stoney walls
4. I want to scream "FUCK YOU, FUCK YOU, FUCK YOU," and bang my head against the glass till it broke, like a maddened bird
5. But I held the walls closed, and fled as soon as the car pulled to a stop. The radio still played the soft, soothing, music that rasped against my anger
6. A bow across the strings of a violin
7. And if you were a real Hindu, you'd be emotionally untouchable. An aesthetic wandering on bleeding feet, draped in rags.
8. And I wish that you could learn to love yourself, or maybe even me
9. If it weren't for your cats, you'd be totally alone
10. wallowing in your stubborn,self-inflicted sorrow
11. Maybe what you didn't do in your past life was LEAVE BEHIND the ton of straws that breaks your back every day
12. But if you were a camel, you'd be dead, roasted by the hot white sun, too stupid to find an oasis even as the sand covered the inside of your nose and mouth.
13. You've suffered as much as Michelangelo
14. Put down your paintbrush
15. And free me from my exasperation.
