snakebite
broken, discarded
thrown around like a cardboard box lid
oh, my love, how dare you
you make me nauseous
your existence
was something i so dearly persisted
but now i regret it
the thought of
your kisses
was something
i never
expected
and i'm disgusted
you only watched as the cobra
sunk its teeth right into me
you never heard me
as i cried out for you at night
in agony
honey, you'll never know
but when your friend asked me "why"
i told him "NO"
you only stared
as i fell to the floor on my knees
i screamed, i cried
i begged God to come and save me please
out of the kindness of my broken heart,
i hope that you are at ease
but you left me with a demon
that'll tear me apart and make my pain increase
