Corroded for Life
My eyes,
rusted
from endless cries
My brain,
rusted
from dreamless nights
My heart,
rusted
into seamless cracks
Rusted
You poured
acrid words over
the raw wounds of my soul
You splashed
venomous affections
to dry up all zest I had, my last breaths
You doused
blatant lies
that numb my now melancholic pulse into rankled beats
Rusted
an old farm nail, my life
rotting between manure mixed sand
under layers of deceits and false alibis
discarded
to prick and infect
subsequent loving hands that try in vain
to gently move me out of harm's way
