Kiss of Death

Kisses don’t lie

When they scar me inside

Your poisoned words resonate

Destroying my soul.

I don’t want you

You seal with a kiss

Killing me instantly.

My heart flapping like a fish.

Gasping for air

I grasp at my chair

The force of your rejection

Ricocheting through me.

It doesn’t seem fair

Your lips sealing my fate

Signing my obituary

I slowly begin to hate.

Rage burns through me

As I think of what you did

The way you pulled my strings

Like a puppet you controlled on your screen

Crumbling into dust

My heart is no more

My faith is obscure

On what we call love…

I slam the door.
