Chloroform

Dispatch softly, chloroform death,
Cover my face, diminish breath
Vessels explode, projectile pieces,
Body distorts, by shards it releases.

Disregard crushes a heart in two,
So tread softly whatever you do.
My kryptonite, a resistance so weak,
Smeared mascara on moist cheek.

Glassy eyed, life fades away,
Like clever words dared to say.
Jagged gore on waxy pale wrist,
None more pathetic could ever exist.

Who was this cadaver on steel?
Roll down hall, one squeaky wheel.
Executed smoothly, I’ll swivel along,
Only hapless pretend to be strong.

Encased in morgue chilled drawer,
Your wiles so worth dying for.
Digging up bones a nightly disgust,
Hornswoggled by deceit and mistrust.

Plowing defenses like winter storm,
Leech resolve that kept me warm.
No, you didn’t inflict cuts to snuff life,
But betrayal was sharper than any knife.

Macramé relics endeavor to persist,
Contort love an intricate twist.
A perfect crime committed I must say,
Unseemly actions have hell to pay.

Chest exposed, incision protract,
Keen slivers can't revert back.
Sweep vestiges ‘neath rug as you go,
It's never wise to let evidence show.
