How do you like it?


How do you like the taste of it?
 
The posion in your tea
 
I put it there with shaking hands
 
There's no way you'll be the end of me
 
 
How do you like the sound of it?
 
The weeping when you died
 
Your mother came with me at night
 
Then we closed your eyes 
 
 
How do you like the feel of it?
 
The coffin made of oak
 
Dirt will be your new best friend
 
And the bugs will come and go 
 
 
How do you like the sound of it?
 
The dirt as it hits the lid
 
Soon the light won't reach the wood
 
And the flowers will bloom again 
 
 
How do you like the smell of it?
 
The decaying flesh of yours
 
Skin will rot, bones will crack
 
And you will be no more

I write poems obviously. I also make videos in my free time as well. I enjoy using poems as a script with music and b-roll running in the back.
