all that is not

by Emily Davidson

i am
so angry with you
so ready to light your fuse and watch you
explode
so eager to hear you
scream down my throat

so happy that you are
finally getting all that you
deserve,
and i am
in love with you
so much that it's
unquestionable
that it makes me unable to
"live and let live"

smiling when i think of all that you've earned
and smiling to know that it's all just
perfect
for you,
and i am
hoping your next sleep
will last forever
or if not that,
you will decide that it is me
that you think of while you dream
and that it is me
that you have always wanted to
wake up to

wishing you the best with all that is new
(and all that is not me)

The idea must've been unimaginable, because this is awesome! Though maybe some more punctuation would help?

This is so good. The crossing out effect really conveys the idea of what one really feels compared to what one actually says. Brilliant!
