Slow Poison

I'll watch you pull it out 

smooth the creases 

flicking the flame 

inhaling your 'end'

Deep

Down

To

The 

Depths 

Of 

Your 

Lungs 

your insides turning to tar

and I'll watch you set them free

those blades of grey clouds 

kissing my face 

as I vainly gasp for breath 

and finally, I'll slowly fathom your undying love 

for death

for all this while, it wasn't killing you 

but me. 

So that's how it ended 

it wasn't a suicide 

but a remorseless murder
