Choke

Those words spoken long ago I choked them down dry and raw Now I find regurgitation To be the only way In avoiding asphyxiation Belief is one thing Reality another A monster when combined Some call it "Love" Some call it a "Lie" Delusion is jelly-thick You know what tastes nice? Reclusion. I poisoned myself on hope and seclusion Love, may you gag on my rotting flesh My eyes have opened My mouth agape Choked out from love's embrace

My feelings on a long complicated relationship that has left me feeling so many emotions I thought I had pushed far away.
