Hydrogen Peroxide

by Desiree - Virgo

So many times
you turned the tables,
forcing me to believe
that it was my fault 
you'd throw hurtful accusations 
and expect me to walk away,
and I would eventually
but for good, never to return,
later you'd show up with apologies
and stupidly I would except
after repeatively saying no,
you're like a disease
always coming back
when I least expect you to,
I can't seem 
to get rid of you
no matter how hard I try,
and I love you 
don't get me wrong,
but you have side affects
that hurt like hell, 
you eat away at my heart
and you think it's ok
cause it benefits you,
and it makes me so sick
how you regurgitate 
a chunk of my generosity,
a chunk of my compassion,
and a chunk of my security
because all of those qualities 
I possess excessively
and your body can't handle that,
you attempt to swallow them
digest them completely
but it's too much for you
you hold on to just a little,
enough that you can control me with
and puke up what's left,
so I guess that's why 
I hold my heart in my hand,
sorry you had little power over that!
well I decided I'm finally through,
maybe if I drink 
a bottle of hydrogen peroxide,
the infection will stay away!!!
