He is a cancer that plagues,
Parasitical in his nature
Clawing at complete control
He clogs up my arteries
A build-up of unnecessary pain
Blocking joyous music and memories
He weakens my brave heart
Which once beat strong with passion
Which once was mine and mine alone
Oh how he rots my gums
The taste tantalizingly unbearable
Before i spit and brush my teeth
The scent lingers on my
Index and middle finger
I wash away the sin with hand soap
Some may find him cool
Some may be curious
I now find him plainly cruel
He takes my breath away
Until i suffocate in unison with him
The embers of intimacy quickly fade
And he discards me in favor of another
