About This Poem

Chloroform

So kill me softly with a chloroform death,
Cover my face, weaken a hitched breath.
Shatter a heart and scatter the pieces,
A body distorted with pain it releases.
Decaying love faded and bleak,
Tears wither to dust on a ashen cheek.
Caught on the breeze and blown away,
Like the shameful lies you loved to say.
Promises broken like a heart in two,
So kill me softly with everything you do.
Who will remember this cadaver on steel,
Rolling down the hall with a squeaky wheel.
Crusted gore dries on waxen pale wrist,
No one more pathetic could ever exist.
So kill me softly so I can swivel along,
Cause only fools pretend to be strong.
Encased in a morgue chilled metal drawer,
Cause your love was so worth dying for
Digging up bones every night with disgust,
Dwelling on all the lies and mistrust.
Macabre memories will always persist,
Contorting love with an intricate twist.
A perfect infringement was committed I must say,
But With crimes of passion there's always hell to pay.
Plowing through a heart like an winter storm,
Chilling my blood that kept me warm.
No you didn't wield a blade that took this life,
But your betrayal was sharper than any knife.
Metaphorically speaking, I didn't commit suicide,
It just feels like a glass heart shattered inside.
Hide the pieces under the rug as you go,
I'm sure you don't want evidence to show.

    Dear Lisa, Hope this finds YOU and YOURS Healthy and High in the Spirit. Well as a novice POET I usually read the comments before I make a comment; so I don't sound silly with my comment, as I am not much of a Commentator.OK 2 comments so most of this will be me.Like John says so E.A. POE or Steven Crane. The rhyming is beyond Superb."It just feels like a glass heart shattered inside" I can feel that quite well. I am sure that this deserves Congratulations for a spot in the Winners Circle...
