cyanide

thank you she gets it.
as she puts the next glass
of cyanide to her lips

she knows that somewhere
in your broken words
and messed up home

that you meant to leave her
just. like. this.
down goes the glass

and down goes her willpower
isnt that what you wanted?
to see her crumble?

well here she is.
at the corner of north
and broadway

stumbling home
from the dark bar
--her haven

its the one place no one
will judge her
and tell her shes wrong

thats all you've
ever told her
there goes another glass

because you left her broken
you taught her
she can trust no one

and that drink is bittersweet
mixed with a roomful of hope
and a trace of death

maybe she just can't
out smart death
just this one time

as her lips begin to slur
and her head begins to pound
she knows shes over done it

just remember
she always listened to you
always tried her best

every flaw got exploited
every problem enhanced
every cripple highlighted

and in the end,
she stopped believing in herself
since you never did

the cyanide might pull her over
but she knows the truth--
you were the cause of this murder
