"Caustic."
Your love is caustic baby
It's eaten a hole in my soul
it's has eroded my heart
from the very start…
if I knew it then I
would have never taken part
but you had me hooked
I was your latest mark
in your mortar and pestle art
& love does not always
make a man more smart
I did not realize I was poisoned
I was too busy enjoying
what to soon became annoying
till my ears teared up & moistened
& my stomach quickly turned
from the lessons I had learned
that you doled out daily to me
bitterness that ran right through me
it was all just liquid shit
& soon I was done with it
you were too damned possessive
& your jealousy excessive
what was love became aggressive
& it’s weight became oppressive.
You’d spy on me when
we were not together
accusing me of fooling
around but I never
was anything less than
faithful to you
then you sent other girls
to try and woo me
into their arms
just to prove that it was true
& there was little
left that I could do
except be free of you..
But you kept on poisoning me
even after I had left
telling everyone I cheated
screwing girls without regrets
leaving you just second best
but most of the folks you lied to
knew me better than you had
so your poison turned
back round on you
you were considered mad
& other guys avoided you
leaving your love life sad.
Then I heard about your history
& found it was no mystery
as to why you chose to poison me
other sickened men had set you free
& though a piece of me still grieves
your love in which I once believed
I’ve found some peace & I can breathe
away from your obsessive
to poison every man you meet
