please hold
while i choke on your words
absorbed like cheap liquor
just to help bury the ache deeper
shovels of your delicate lies
digging through my simple construction
leaving behind a treasure map of insecurities
scars sure to be revealed again
your poetic tragedies
remain inscribed along the binding of my superfluous soul
but the taste of your deadly ink is becoming antique
far too familiar to leave such destruction
grand theft of my innocence
a convict of amazing espionage
but i see through your eyes
and i’ll dive into your capillaries
infiltrate like a virus
ripping through your hardware
intoxicating curiosity
leave my mind and i’ll relinquish your prison
raped shy by your silence
retire from my soul
and let me regain my smile
once tender, now violent
leave my heart
exit its remains with pride
don’t be humble
bathe in its shattered peices
paint yourself with its agony
it has become the ashtray of my temple
a holocaust of once loved dreams
but it’s lovely
there’s beauty in this breakdown
Please tell me what you think

Such well-expressed emotion. As well as a great and meaningful topic.
There are a lot of amazing lines in this poem. For example: "shovels of your delicate lies
digging through my simple construction"
Your wording and vocabulary is excellent; it's nice to see words like espionage and capillaries.
I loved the imagery and metaphors your used throughout the piece.
Excellent write, I enjoyed reading it.
