My Antidote

�
I have tried so hard to figure this out �
How are you able to live with yourself? �
Your cruel betrayal, it simply astounds �
Digging the blade in and twisting around �

Then you gave it a yank �
This is how you give thanks �
I was drawing a blank �
In a pit my heart sank �
Field of vision shrank �
Like a rolling fog bank �
�
Years clouded by lies �
Tears crowding my eyes �
The flood waters rise �
Like thunder my cries �
With loathing devised �
An oath under the skies �
�
Can your wretched form �
Weather the storm? �
I break from the norm �
As I'm changing in form �
My anger is born �
Like dangerous swarm �
�
The situation culminated �
In a decision undebated �
Proliferated hatred �
The picture you created �
�
There is no understating �
You've spent so long cultivating �
My hunger, undulating �
Summoned to the surface waiting �
�
The pressure is tidal �
Intent on reprisal �
My vengeance is vital �
My tension unrivaled �
Aggression unbridled �
Your breath will be stifled �
�
Your victory gloats �
Will soon screech to a halt �
When I reach for your throat �
Repeat each word you wrote �
�
Sweet deceit treats �
"I love you", I quote �
"Forever and always, �
You're my antidote" �
�
Well, you're my affliction �
I swear, I wish it was different �
But I have secured the cure for my addiction �
And I am already filling my prescription � � �

Your lips move for the last time
Finished casting your lines
Now your ship has capsized
You've been harshly chastised
� � �
