Hate To Highpoint (Zenith)
Abecedarian poem
All I do is think about you, you and me, how we used to be
Be strong I tell myself, yet self-talk brings me little comfort
Comforting, how comforting knowing you chose my ride or die
Dying, I am dying right now and nothing is everything
Everything, you two were my life but life slapped me in the face
Face slap, turn the other cheek, go on ahead with that girl
Girl, I was your girl; "Girl, please," I grit my teeth when I see her
Her place in my heart, best pal, was anyway, until indiscretion
Indiscretion, the unsweet of discretion, secrets sipped unlike juice
Juicy details, I need not know; dry, the texture of a lying lip's kiss
Kiss me goodbye, not literally, so long, we are not living in limbo
Limbo, limber, I am not that flexible, tight, I am, my mind-is-made
Made up, I wish, but I could never make up such nonsense
No sense in kidding myself, grown-up me sees ahead no oasis
Oasis, green patches, other places; the grass is greener preferences
Preference meets indifference, yes, but I walk away quietly
Quietly, no door slamming, no shouting, just my no-tolerance reflex
Reflex reflects, deep reflection; heavy-hearted handled with strength
Strength, strength feels weak, weak from illness, illness times two
Two, I hope the two of you get all you deserve, faithfully united
United, where does that leave me; sad, alone, and vulnerable
Vulnerable, not so much, venom in my veins keeps me wise
Wiser than yesterday; fool me again equals an unwise Xerox
Xerox, she will become a carbon copy of me; highlight: mind yoga
Yoga, but it isn't a stretch, it's beyond, I'm moving to the Zenith
Zenith calls, telling me to forget you; forgotten, I never knew you at all

Outstanding!
Breath taking.
So much word play, and it flows beautifully line to line. Love how you also took the last word from the previous line and carried it over. It works 😁
