The tirade of empty words

from an unfeeling heart

falling down to the molten pit

as he regurgitates into my lap

the words that sting like hot grease

-------------------------------

I lay-stand fuzzy falling straight still-

As he takes his bowie knife and guts me

de-pelts me and flings my carcass over into

the pool of soured regrets he left boiling,

Shouldnt I have felt that?

----------------------------

Now I long to be numb again,

I lay awake most nights remembering,

As he is most surely forgetting by now-

His tender kiss, my first endeavor, forevermore vacant,

As I careen this empty sea; with out him.
