Heartbreaker

For JER


The simple truth is I'm falling, falling down. And I don't want to drag you to the bottom...
-Falling Down. Ben Jelen

I know about you
And how your infidelities try to raise
my noose behind my back--like a flag on a Monday morning
But let me tell you something.

No matter how high you'll try to raise it,
I'll make sure that my feer can feel your head.
And together with the tears I cried for seven years,
And the blood I shed from those shards of broken beer bottles that touched my wrist,
I will take you down
Until your face smahes the ground
And your mouth
Tastes the saltness of the earth
And the tears
And the blood I wasted.
Just to keep you standing
At my side
Which you
Never
Did.
