A proud skylark

I wrote this inspired by one of my favorite poems (ask me about it, if interested):

You are trembling my dear but this is not what I meant
When I told you what they said to me and how it felt
That time I saw you late at night so heaven sent
They said you’re a beast, a creature so hell-bent

It drove me away, the way they described your lazy eyes
They told me you lurk whiskey and you smell like ugly lies
You laugh with yellow teeth and an ego I despise
Your shirts are thrifted and your shoes are incise

They said you’re no good but I needn’t be wary
As you don’t come close, you distance, very
Then why do you sit next to me, it’s scary
Why did you come close in this huge lonely ferry

You’re trembling my dear, as I tell you what they spoke
Do I hand you a cigarette? Do you crave a last smoke?
I won’t hide my hate for you and I don’t mean to provoke
But how can you be so beastly? I hope you choke

Love of my life, you hurt me
I’ve been trying to get away, to be free
It is true what they spoke, but I couldn’t see
That you are a sin and all this, it mustn’t be

I hope you die because I can’t rid of you any other way
I know you’re a predator and I was a passing prey
But I still prefer you than a world with you away
I still choose you over me any gloomy day

You are trembling my dear for you stand defeated
You told me you are toxic, and very much conceited
But you didn’t tell me about your victims and how they were treated
You told me you are no good but then my intuition you greeted

I know you are soulless because of what she did
You gave your all and she left you amid
She took your favorite sweater and away she slid
And ever since then you cut out hearts to feel vivid

She wore her red lipstick and gave you a smile
As if you’re socks that got out of style
She kissed you goodbye and you lingered for a while
In trauma, you wondered: how can I survive?

You look at your victim’s eyes and all you see is hers
You cry as there is much melancholy your heart bears
And then another girl smiles at you, a wink she even dares
And you think: let me fill my lustful void with theirs

So you kill to get over her and you chose me to kill
But I know what you are, so ugly and so ill
So I think of killing my own self, to jump a hill
I won’t let you get to me, your revenge to fulfill

You are trembling my dear for you will get your desire
I stand at the top of the bridge and I look at you with ire
I loved you a lot, I still do it’s dire
But I won’t let you kill me, I’ll be my own misfire

You are trembling my dear for you realize what you have done
She threw you to the wolves, left you undone
And you wanted to do the same with me, kill and run
So I chose to jump off the bridge on my own, I will be gone

You were beautiful my dear, an angel in the dark
Wears cheap perfume, it stains and leaves a mark
I won’t be very far away, I’ll be a skylark
So every time you see a skylark you say:
Here lies the girl that loves me, and there flies the proud skylark
