Nail In the Coffin

Not a single tear was shed by you when our relationship died Instead, you put the first nail in the coffin Yes, it was formaldehyde you ... whose morgue heart had an elated attitude When you put the next nail in the coffin Those silver urn eyes had a joyous flame, ash grey cremated view As you put another nail in the coffin Happy Deathday! This was the karaoke repast song you played While yet another nail was lip slammed in the coffin You danced in a black widow dress, at the grave sight of our premature burial happiness Then put the last rite nail in the coffin And placed a thorny rose on top, letting your flirtatious dirt fall back to the earth Smiling wide, as my cadaver heart crypt cried

morgue heart.... I love that... says so very much about everything from beginning to end... A dark write, that kept my attention, with sadness, hoping the victim would somehow...win... Ann

She sounds like a rather devilish woman my friend. Glad you escaped her clutches.
