Chloroform

Kill me softly, a chloroform death,
I don't envy this accursed breath
A heart explodes projectile pieces,
Body distorted with shards it releases.
 
You're kryptonite, a resistance so weak,
Teardrops smear mascara stained cheek.
Sanpaku eyes stare, life drained away,
Like the endearments, you dared to say.
 
Promises broke a foolish heart in two,
Kill me softly with debauchery you do.
Who'll remember this cadaver on steel?
Rolling down the hall on squeaky wheel.
 
Shattered heart drying in a clenched fist,
No one more pathetic could ever exist.
Kill me softly so I can swivel along,
Only fools pretend to be strong.
 
Encased in a cold metal drawer,
'Cause love was so worth dying for.
Digging up bones every night with disgust,
Dwelling on all the lies and mistrust.
 
Macabre memories endeavor to persist,
 Contorting love with an intricate twist.
A perfect crime committed I must say,
For all transgressions have hell to pay.
 
Plowing defenses like a winter storm,
Chilling blood that kept me warm.
No, you didn't wield a blade that took life,
But, betrayal was sharper than any knife.
 
Chest exposed, incision protract,
 Fragmented shards can't be stuffed back.
 Sweep a glass heart under the rug when you go,
 It's not prudent to let evidence show.
