Sent Me

 Oh, now, sweetheart,

did you think there wouldn't be a price

You called me

from the corners of your quiet living room

and the darkness of your still bed

You didn't want pastel

You wandered

So, I gave you claws

I sharpened your teeth

And you walked in everywhere

like you were God's punisher

You took no prisoners

You showed no mercy

But you had the shadows

turned around and inside out

I didn't come to inflict you

on everyone else

Give you some schadenfreude shivers

No

I cam here

to ruin your you

and wreck your life

God sent me
