I killed myself!

I killed her
Slowly and patiently I killed her
Without holding back
Kept being nice to each and every one,
But her.

I killed her
Dispassionately I just killed her
Without listening to anyone
Kept puttinng everyone in the line first,
Last came her!

I killed her
Meekly but eventually I did kill her
Without giving into the tantrum
I kept scolding and what she wanted,
Was never given to her…

I killed her
She kept screaming for help, but I killed her
I told her to “shut up!”
“What you want is in what makes others happy”
I said no, it doesn’t…. Listen to her.
