Listen to poem:

Discontinue

Absolute toxin; I placed within you;
Through to the bone; past the sinew;
I could not allow this to continue,
A blessing it is to discontinue,
My scent was laced heavy with chloroform;
Weather the nightmare; weathered the storm;
No longer a questioning burden in any form;
Lost was nothing; not even regret;
All of me; you should just forget

This is very poignant, and the metaphors are original. Deep work.

The failing of human connections has both been driving and inspiring as of late. Kindly A.S.
