Slow Poison

tracingdaisies

Ever notice how it's the little things that can tear two people apart?

--

Slow poison
Like squeezing toothpaste
From the top and not the bottom
Until he snaps;
Slow poison--
You ate two bowls of it--
I forgot to drain the cheeseburger
Macaroni and had cereal instead.
Slow poison,
Your plants don’t get any fresh air and
In protest one sprouts a crusty orange fungus.
You bring it to me and I scoop away
The growth with a spoon.
Slow poison,
Pretending we’re stronger than the trifles:
My cigarette smoke in your face,
Your beer breath in mine. Nothing like
Slow poison,
I clutch your ass while playing
Sweet Like We Used to Be.
You unbutton my shirt when I’m not in the mood.

Being Enlightened

That was damn good, tracingdasies!

Word.

The repetitive theme is not what I expect from you, but definitely works.

Hocus Pocus!

swearing sluts fucking me and my friends?

"Your plants don’t get any fresh air and

this is fucking great.
i liked the theme of a sort of angry love- bitter friendship yet staying together.
almost like the protaganists get a sick kick out of hating each others guts.
v well put together.

You've got it, sultryevening. Sometimes we *do* hate one another's guts. But mostly not.
