the obstinate stain on the coffee mug
in my throat, there resides a lump, reminiscent of the taste of self-sabotage. i cherish it like a solitary island, taking care not to succumb to the depths. indeed, there exists an art to self-destruction, and i have become a proficient practitioner of that dark craft. i am akin to that obstinate stain upon your beloved coffee mug and the name you choose to inscribe in bold crimson ink. my spine bears the weight of hollowed bridges, their remnants the result of my melancholic conflagrations. love, it seems, inevitably leads to loss. i present myself as a liability, complete with intricate fine print, ever ready to brim your cup until it overflows, and then, alas, to suffocate amidst the deluge.
