You swallowed everything rotten when you

swallowed me.

All the indigestion, disgust and anguished reverie.

I keep it tightly locked within…you dared the worst.

You swallowed time and tears and added years;

sorry for what you’ve done?

You assaulted my infinite oblivion….

my darling solitude and sick…

and yet you thought you’d won.

You lost, my dear, more than you can know.

You can’t contain the old re-runs.

So, spit me out into the sea,

a better person you will be.

Let me dwell in my hollow hell with

my demons under lock and key.

Some things should be left alone forever.
