his words are like honey
slow and sweet
sticking to your ear drums
seeping into your brain
but at some point
they turn sour
too bitter
to replay
his minuscule amount
of jealousy
seems playful
at first
before it erupts
only to rival pompeii
his fist
punches the wall
that eventually becomes
your face
layers of pancake mix
can barely cover
the pain
yet your deepest wound
is intrinsic
i love you so much
to life not to death
please baby
here me when i say...
GET OUT!
