Remember all those tears I shed
in the name of all the lies
you felt it was necessary to tell?
Today I don't understand why
I sacrificed my precious bodily fluids
for your lyin' cheatin' ass.
I was stupid.
I already knew what you were doing.
Why did I cry and act a fool
when you wound up putting the evidence
right in my face like you had
no respect for all the love
I gave your no good behind.
Why did I sacrifice precious sleep?
Running my resistance low
ending up ill all the time.
Why did I allow you to usher in
depression and sorrow
that took over my life?
I've got a new outlook on life
and
I'm not the same person I was.
But
I want you to know
if looks could kill
I'd watch you die.
Not a quick and painless death
but a
slow
torturous
agonizing death.
I'd stand over you
watching you gasp for air
as I smile at you
reminding you
of all the Hell
you took me through
and walk away
with an extra sway
to my pretty hips
as "help me"
escapes from your
lying dying lips.

Did you make the avatar your self or find it somewhere? That's a great line, "if looks could kill, I'd watch you die." This has potential, but I think it could be formatted better. Thanks for entering.
