by Anastasia ShowsLet me drink of the hemlock
before I forsake my morals
to enable you in your corruption.
Allow me an ax to sever my hand
before I write the future
steeped in your deception
May you stab me in the back
so that I awake violently
from the drug induced nightmare
of which you created.
and if you gasp in faux surprise
when I leave you in your hour
of need
do not expect me to look back in remorse. 01/16/2009 Posted on 01/16/2009
