I promise you I shuttered the misery right out of
my life on Thursday
I was saved by the ringing of my phone and my savior pulled
my soul out of its bottomless pit and back onto the pavement
It's a human thing, to hold tight to the notion of ghosts
It seemed that our every fuck-fest just got better and better...
and then it stopped
And you stopped.
So I sat at the desk and smoked almost 3 packs of cigarettes
But I couldn't figure it out
A week prior you claimed you could marry me
A week later you wanted nothing to do with me
At first, I could only blink at you
Then I wore a hole in our new carpet from where my fist was beating and beating and my tears were like fire on the fibers
And I just could not believe that I allowed YOU to kill me.
You were nowhere near good enough for that priveldge
I left very quietly.
And I've been hurting.
But Thursday, the icing finially landed on the cake and I told you that I didn't have SHIT ELSE TO SAY TO YOU
And I thought to myself, how great that felt and how I hope you get herpes or I hope she breaks your heart or (on a better note)......
I
just
hope
you
leave me forever and eternally and always and (all the other lies you gave me) alone
The PP Vent Poem
An excellent example of good writing of verse comingled with an outpouring of 3 months worth of venom. Hey. Nice goin' Better out than in, I say. - Just Bein' Lady A
It is always better out then
It is always better out then in. And lemme tell ya, that poem needed to come out and it felt phenominal!
