Poison

I bit you and drew blood one I would rather die than EVER hurt and yet there it is the poison of distrust the multi millennia of Eves whose self deceit destroyed the man they loved the decades of abuse violence , rape , neglect and homelessness have taken their toll not a pound of flesh but of heart and left the sting of scorpions desert under the tongue like a razor to flay the skin of your soul oh foul being that slips so easily into a pattern thought destroyed the good that I would I do not do and the evil that I eschew is what is displayed oh ruinous and fell creature in whose sight I cannot forgive My self I did not show you mercy and I see none for me whose self control has slipped so easily upon old ice no apology I can conceive will retrieve the damage done or the sum of what I see detractable in myself stupidity has mounted reason and whipped her senseless COPYRIGHT © 2011 C Michael Miller via Duboff Law Group LLC
