Your Ex-Lover is Dead

Old ex-love is like a dog from hell.

The sight, the sound, the thought of

Your ex-lover may boil blood

And bubble skin.

Deep breaths

Deep breaths, quick.

Exhale slowly.

Give your parasympathetic

Nervous system a chance

To bring you home safely.

Let your ex-lover stay dead.

Be calm.

Be calmly in comfort.

One day you should be off the

Antipsychotics, let them wear off.

You’ll wake up and the urge to

Be at the liquor store

By 9am will be gone, long gone. Dead.

Sorry we’re closed.
