The Malevolent Man Poem by Mark Rivera

You pierce me with those conniving eyes
Make me feel at times that I should die
Makes me wonder why you saved my life
The malevolent man who hates me
Rather see me disappear then to have ever
Entered his life
Makes me wonder why he stopped me and my knife
You and I are incapable of being friends
But somehow my feelings grow for you
The malevolent man
Who would love to see me harmed
With his smart remarks
Wishing he never met a boy named Mark-
He can't stand my mere presence
And he isn't subtle about making it known
He and I
Destined to be enemies
And although he and I failed at friendship
My feelings for him
Still lingers through my thoughts-
Flows through my heart
So I am left to ask
How can I care
For this malevolent man
who could careless
If I slit my wrists
