Skunk
Nothing that you say
Can destroy me
Nothing that you do
Is forgiven
Nothing that you remember
Will stay with me
Nothing is what you
Mean to me
I'm sick and tired
Of waiting for you
I'm useless if all you want
Is to use me
I'm too cold if you're trying
To burn me
I'm over you
Now it's your turn
I once had trust
It was blind to you
I once had love
But it hurt too much
I once had pain
I feel nothing now
I once had you
But now it's over.

Great poem! Very powerful. From my reading i suggest you could leave out the last line in the second stanza, and the last two lines in the third stanza. They are good lines, but I think you either get what is being said or you don't.

That is the narcotic that is injected into the minds of infants.
It is called social narcotics.
