YOU
You stand over the body
Dripping weapon in your hand
I don't know why you did it
Help me understand
You plunged the knife in deep
Showing no mercy
You just destroyed it all
You ruined all the history
You destroyed what he cared for
You ruined all he had
You really messed him up
You messed him up real bad
You stood over his body
You were as cold hearted as Jack the Ripper
You ruined his idea of love
Now his heart feels like a black river
His heart cried out for you
You ignored his pleads
You stood there holding the knife
You just loved to watch him bleed
You didn't know or you didn't care
You chopped his head clean off and grabbed him by the hair
Whether your intentions were good or inflicted with misery, it does not matter
For it hurts greatly because the body that you killed, was me.

i wrote this piece my freshman year of high school and it is still one of my favorite pieces i've ever written three years later. I wrote this about a person I had a crush on that really hurt me and I needed a way to express my emotions. The theme of this piece is blaming someone else, putting all he blame on the other person. The reason YOU is so empathized is because the speaker wants to push all of the blame onto the other person even if it is also their fault, they do not want to take responsibility. it can only be the other persons fault and never their own, i truly hope that comes across as you read through my writing.
