I cauterized my heart today && was healed at the horror show.
You know, that I believe every word that escaped from those cruel lips, the lips that tasted like nicotine && codeine.
You were my addiction && I was your addict.
I bore a hole through my blasphemous tongue, [I said I loved you but I lied]
You had heartbreak written all over you, like some damned disease, I could smell it on you.
The sweet noxious scent of  cadavarine && formaldehyde , it made my knees w e a k && clouded my judgment.
Boy, you were just a cheap sex mix tape that included my favorite song, a silly teenage dream of perfection, a name written on a bathroom wall.
I love to love to loathe you, it makes me breathe a little better, makes stand a little taller.
Forget me not, my lover with the lying cyanide eyes, keep every detail perfect in it’s secrecy.
Tell the little girls who believe in you, all your time tested tired lines, they’ll love it, they’ll treasure it like it’s the gospel.
I won’t anymore.
[remember the old saying “Love it or leave it”, baby? Well you hated it && left it.]
Think about that when the saints leave you to drown at sea.

    I love this. It's beautifully written. I love how you start it off with the definition. I love the way that you've described everything and I can really feel the emotions that come out of this. The ending is wonderful as well.

    ....and don't let the door hit ya in the ass.....
    I love the absolute disgust and disdain in your words..

    ...I said I love you but I lied...

    Perhaps the worse thing that could be said
    but the very best for this piece.
    This line ..out of all...would have cut my heart up...
    It was never real.....
    not for a second you fool.....
    I mean.......that would have hurt me...
    but that is the point of the piece.
    And it is done in aces...
    you just let the poetic fireworks fly...
    your work always relieved tension for me....
    I always feel I just let someone have it...
    both barrels...
    I'm always glad I'm not the one at the other end of your quick poetic tongue.
    Just don't hit me....lol

    Much love my sister,
    Lowell Poe
