The venomous
Wrinkle your nose against her perfume, cough NOW— before her scent slithers into your lungs! Rub her honey from your eyes or you may not see the drool strings and venom!

I found peace like a river. I gave myself time to forget all the pain. I tried new ways to bring a smile to my face ‘til I couldn't remember your name. Life after you: I saw love all around me and looked into the eyes of a brand new me. I kept my heart open and the love that was stolen returned in full measure, a recovered treasure I will never lose. I love my life after you. It's lights, colored deeper, harmonies, sweeter. Love came and found me. Happiness blossomed around me. It burst like a fountain high as a mountain. This is my life after you.

If ever we touched in the here and now, I'd have to be crazy to let you go. I’d lift you so high, we'll never come down.

Fade to Black..
Bitter burning scorching my innards. Light piercing my eyes, blurry vision, I’m falling, watching concrete rush at me. Aching head as my surroundings turn into a red sea, my nostrils swim in the stench of rusty blood, urine, vomit and bile.

Weight
Strapped in my vest The weight crushing my chest Why does life always feel like a test Trapped in the vestments of life Listening to each other’s strife
