Throw it my way, the lies you feed
my gut, my heart, with each seed
daily grime and ugly you need
…and still each day you must feed.

You cringe and sigh and **** and moan  
because you know you end up alone…
my eyes are closed, with my half-hearted smile,
sarcasm ablaze, laughing the disgust away

An image you crave, like you once had
simple and pure, perfect delight
you moved to fast, like a blink of an eye
now…nothing will ever satisfy  

I mock you, while holding my breath
just in case it means my death.  
yawning and sighing, my eyes ablaze
i’ve felt it before we could do this for days  

A friendly postcard would not suffice
the words not nearly feeding your device
a love song I cannot give
but I send this note because I choose to live.

— The End —
