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
