Poisoned Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Tattered had been my love!
With a shattered heart that has mended.
When I thought it unbearable...
To witnessed the lips I kissed,
Shared with another.
I have since gotten over it!
And my thoughts of suicide.

I was prepared to take a nose dive,
Into oblivion.

Then it dawn upon me...
You have every right,
To live your life...
As the slut you are!
And if God had not shown me that...
You would have had me poisoned,
For the rest of my life!
