The ordeal of a heartbreak

Written by

Ouch! I have just been bitten by a snake

Oh! Little creepy creature; swift little bastard

Your venom is quick and sedative

Your poison is hostile to my bloodstream

Yet, it is relaxing and intoxicating

Explains why I am seeing one thing as though they were two

 

You filthy crawling demon, why would you have such beauty?

You have the cuteness of a newborn

Your eyes carry the ignorance of a bunny

And when you raise your head, tilting your fish-like neck forward

Even the breeze move slowly caressing your velvety bod

Aware of the havoc you are about to wreck

 

Sitting here, helpless and weak

As life slowly leaves my body

I refuse to let your venom tint the sweet memories I relished for so long

Fred, my cousin is here now but, the worm is long gone

Far into the abyss of the rest of the world

She left me; the serpent I married as a wife

 

Something must kill a man

But this is not a good way to go.

    To think it was Eve that was deceived by the Old serpent ? ….Learnt from the master. (Literally)

      Got motivated in a way with your choice and use of words… Your disguise in the use of irony and personification makes me wonder how your old age is adjusting perfectly to the not so old neck. There’s always something to learn from your comment.
