Ghosts of you linger like a smoke-filled room
Haunting my spirit
Singing the same sad tune
Tonight, I’ll put you out like a half-smoked cigarette
Throw you away before you ruin the rest of my pack
I’ll guzzle you like a glass of red
Then rid myself of you like the excrement you are
Turn the lights down low
Slide the deadbolt
Slowdance with myself to the songs of your demise
Shatter the rose-tinted glasses
Laugh heartily at the pieces of you
Drive over you like a speedbump
(you’d make a great one)
you’ll be my man in Reno
I’ll be your Johnny Cash
tattoo your name on a police report
May God have mercy on your soul!
(if you have one)
leave you under the bridge submersed in troubled waters
decorate the dumpster interior with pictures of you
leave you to hang with your kin
kerosene fills the air
this is the way our story ends
I’m the bang
You’re the whimper.
