Phone Booth

Your "I love you" is like a noose
And your touch is
a touch too cruel
You swore you'd treat me apple pie sweet I should've tasted the cyanide Known you were killing me But now you're all stuck In my lungs Cigarette smoke It's a slow choke You'll never let me free or Leave me alone Goodbye love I'm hanging up the phone

Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Oh what a fine line that is drawn between love and hate. Nice free verse.
