At Last I've Killed You

​

Within these peeling walls,

Heeding the wailing call,

It had been months and the ground still shakes,

Gutless aim, dead center at your heartache,

Shameless woman, beg her for a clean death,

In your heart, she won't hang no more,

Swinging in your veins till you're done for,

All alone, you begged her to,

Leave, at last, and salt the earth behind you.

At last I've killed you,

In my heart, no hunger pangs, hurting to be fed,

No more writhing, you're already dead,

No foul scent of mourning flesh,

No waiting till your final breath,

No peace, bid for scorching heat,

Know,

I helped you offend and repeat,

Claim passion's defense, when the walls still stood proud,

All saw your fire and never the smoke,

I gave my lungs and inhaled it all.

When the dust settles, you remain dead;

When all turns to ashes, the ground stills,

For a moment or two, I think of you,

Phantom fumes leaving a stain behind,

Heartless exhaust still burns through the mind,

Though I think of words that corrode,

Nothing kills like a heart, forced to take the highroad,

Though I dare to leave these filthy walls,

Her unrepenting wails beg for my heart to stall,

They echo in a room I outgrew,

In the end, I loved my griefs more than you.

▲ 71 r/AO3

I've been reading on AO3 for years and only made an account last year. Also followed this sub for the first time a few months ago. I mention this because I'm shocked at posts about scams, the bots, the vitriol, people attacking each other for writing a ship they disagree with, I've read posts that alleged doxxing, etc. What the fuck is happening. I thought this site was for reading/writing fanfiction. When the hell has it gotten this deep and weird for some of these people? I'm shocked. My ass was enjoying reading fics, all oblivious like Bubbles from Powerpuff Girls lmao. I've seen plenty of works about ships where I either don't like the characters involved or think it doesn't make sense for whomever to be together. Why do people seriously fight about this shit? What the hell is an AO3 scam?

Ffs, I've been on this site since 2017 and never noticed a damn thing. I feel stupid, but also grateful. Ignorance is bliss type ass feeling lmao.
