I know when I see you
I'll be reminded of the relationship
we once had. Sunlight off your
face catches my attention
every time I pass your window.
Your ember eyes twinkle at mine
letting me know you love me too.
(secretly) I wish for your demise as I jab
my hand into my pocket fingering
the blade I replace you with. Wincing
I stride past the smeared glass even as
my neck cranes to see. I know you're
a two-timing harlot, a lethal injection, a
mistress I love to hate. Your seductive
voice tickles my spine as I round the corner,
grimacing. I grasp the razor-
a solid pop rings in my ears-
the vein breaks, releasing your grip.
I breathe once more
as the sun reflects off
my tortured face.
