Venom of Love

Oh my dearest, do you ever think of me?

Does the memory of what we shared claw away at your sanity?

Do you interrogate yourself like a mad man?

Questioning what went wrong?

When? How? Why?

I am anguished.

My heart is torn apart but your betrayal cripples me,

My soul wanders about calling for its lost soulmate,

For a large emptiness gapes in my spirit,

I am haunted by the un-inked pages in our unfinished story.

Surely, I am but a fool.

I wish to wring my heart of every ounce of love it ever held for you,

I wish to banish your memory from my very soul,

I am tempted to set the world ablaze,

And burn away any trace of your wretched existence.
