once upon a time
in a perfect universe
i would have believed every word you said
how easily my dear lady
has revealed the truth to me
and shown me that I was better off dead
so naive we were
to put such a strong faith
in a word that was never real
so untried we were
to believe this world
that love was something we could feel
to watch you
take away from me
the devices that kept me drawing breath
without moving
without attempting
to stop you from hastening my death
i never cried before
i don’t ever think i shall
ive been relieved of all my senses
i never died before
an alluring commodity
has been given me in excess
as I lift my face to see the sun spit down on me
i pray it is the same sun that you see
for the last time
ive felt your icy nails
withering my skin
for the last time
ive felt your vile lips
siphon the life out of me
for the last time
ive felt your mendacious lexis
malign my self esteem
for the last time
ive felt your paralyzing embrace
perforate my heart again
