inappropriate, intense anger or difficulty controlling anger

you’re the scum of the earth,
the dirt under my fingernails,
a bug beneath my feet,
a rat scurrying in the sewers.

you’re unworthy of love,
not an ounce of compassion,
not a second of my time,
not a sliver of my heart.

i’d kill you if i could,
knife slashing at your throat,
blood gushing from your neck,
your corpse falling at my feet.

this poem is a mercy,
more beautiful than you’d understand,
more intimate than you’d appreciate,
more forgiving than you deserve.
