a note to "a john"

i caught another lie

as it

slipped out of your throat

and

onto your tongue

then it rolled on out

onto the floor.



you looked at me

with those brown eyes

and let

another lie

come tumbling out

and now

i'm crumbling down.



and i can't take anymore

of this.

you know that

you can pull the trigger

so come on and do it.

you know you want to.



you're breaking me down

as i'm trying

to

figure you

out.



you're hiding behind

a

stone wall

as i

commence my

inner war

to

speak up to you

and break inside

your mind.



once i do

i'm gonna

tear apart all of

the documents of love that happened

between us.

i'm gonna pick out the lies and

burn them.

i'm gonna

break you down.

make you cry for mercy.

it's too late now to say 'sorry.'

i'm gonna

make you shiver

with fear.

because.

you know my.

mind games.



after i'm done

with you maybe

you'll have learned

a thing or

two about revenge.

...and about relationships.

I love this poem. I like the lay out, and the picture of his lies, forming inside him and comming out and what effect they have on you, I have felt this many times. Thanks for writing this, it rocks.

I really liked this one. Although it's not the side of you that I'd like to see all the time, it sure is the side of you that gives you inspiration to write. You give me inspiration to write. I love you *almost* too much. I'll never hurt you like 'a john'. never.
