a figure of speech

i can’t help but realize
the bloody remembrances of heartfelt apologies
that slipped off the tongue
sugary like coke
watching you slit your wrist
with a pipe wrench cause me to run
close enough
for you to singe my flesh
with words of water
and all the hyperboles
you left at my side
crumbled and died
before i could choke
on dirty soaking
parting words
you downed like a pint
of gold
and with all your heart
you found the dart
the pricked your passion
and laid the ground work
for the lies you so often spoke
and somehow you managed
to use the giver of life
to drown us both

You'll never be quite the same again after that Bible you've been thumping all these years finally has enough and beats the living s**t out of you. - Horoscope in "The Onion"

I thought you just said we were done doing things the stupid way.

If you want to call me that, smile.
