Agony, contesting.
Antagony, competing.
Two words, related, negated. Two words of the same coin. Agonize and antagonize.
It's Thursday, and it's raining, and you haven't called. A desire to see you, but why? Get soaked in freezing rain when I know you aren't home? Call when I know you won't answer? Pine when I know you're with her?
Vodka drips angrily from the overturned bottle, sleek puddle devouring the hotel ever so slowly. My mind and the television buzz, on but not showing anything. Agony, antagony. Nose so close to the floor, smelling the solvents in the carpet, watching the dust settle, I imagine her hands on you and choke.
If only she were me.
If only she weren't.
