I suddenly sought
a way out,
_____________________
I couldn’t contemplate
another night,
_____________________
of tall tales
and low lies,
_____________________
I loathed languishing
in your sight.
_____________________
I licked my wounds
and felt my heart melt away
_____________________
like ice cream left outside
on a sunny day.
