What color is your soul

What color is your soul
You ugly little splendid thing
Always making me laugh in terror
At the harsh and ruinous strokes of my ego
Upon your delicate canvas
You mayfly
You oblivious little ladybug
Caught in my disgusting stare

How can I love you
When my only thought is to smush you beneath my thumb
And clean off your suffering with my tongue
Your broken wings caught in my teeth
As I smile, delighted by some fantasy of
Your spirit flying away
Unseen
And so utterly beautiful
Because it exists only in my imagination

How sordid
To think I was so impressed with you
That it cost you your life
