Death Threats

By: Amirah Datwani

You call my name, and I walk in, and it’s something I could never imagine. your worth is now tied to mine, like stars that foolishly intertwine. You say you only wanted me because I would never take things seriously. Well, I'll prove it to you…

What can I prove?

Can I prove that I can fight for you? So what is right for you? Maybe I can handcuff myself to you. Maybe I’ll let you drown me in insults, and threats of metaphorical death, and you can kill me with your words.

I will never amount to anything, but at least I have you.

Rationale:

A dark look at a relationship that definitely needs work.
