Hogwart's—A Poem About Imagined Refuge

my love is just another crutch;
a whole circus, tainted by trust.
oh wizard me, enchanted thee;
you are hog's wart; i'm diamond dust.
but i digress; i need some rest.
my waving wand ain't your horcrux.
just like a sponge, you sopped me up.
absorbed my aura, you're so porous.
the more i gave, the more you took.
made demands without a deed.
no bill of sale, you can't own us.
so let me go, just let me be.
take your storebought charm
out to the curb, cos i deserve—
equality.
i'm a free bird. and i return;
because i've got integrity.
i set you apart, you put me aside.
pull at my heart, i'll tear you to pieces.
i come alive, so take back your lies.
tell your untruths, cos they dont fly
with me anymore; wont die for your love
i'll rise above; the skies, like doves
i wont be weeping another weekend.
no more weak days for your cheap ways.
so go suck face with some creep, babe
i wont keep place for your steep hate
so dont lose sleep to shear sheep, eh
watch me fade now like myspace
