An Imminent Fantasy

But it's only that drunken-immortality fairytale

embedded into your unfortunate soul and

pressed seemingly against your lips,

struck across with that fancy red gloss of her favorite coat

of which gathered every ounce of deceit

she could have possibly mustered up

out of the back of her sickening throat.

"Forever"

was merely another one of her words

that made its way into the void

sometime before reaching your such gullible ears.

Or perhaps every syllable that slipped

from the tip of that tongue

is simply another piece of the actual void,

relishing its way

into a deliberate consumption of your senses

to ease every misfortune with bitter condolences.

This was your first mistake;

She craved adequacy of every "I'm sorry"

she spoke that slithered away

and wrapped itself around your mind and soul so tightly that

you utterly forgot what the word "pain" meant

simply because she forgot that "truth"

was even a damn word.
