Eulogies (criticism welcome)

[ForEverAfter]

i bury you
suffocate your memory
with my sadness
kill every thought
that threatens to remind me
of what i once felt

my blood
has fermented
from lust into poison
my heart
beating backwards
empties my veins

our dead love haunts me
like a lingering spirit
with unfinished business
i drown my feelings
in absinthe

sobriety
has a soul
intoxication
is barren;
it feels better
to feel nothing
than to feel
this loss

every day
i bury you

wow, I love this. I love the dirge-like beat of it and the almost neutral reporting tone of very deep emotion. Favorite line:
my heart
beating backwards
empties my veins

again, wow!
