Boiling Points

You escape me
like volatile vapors
you suffocate me as
seething lies escape your mouth
temperaments rise
body temperatures febrile
relentlessly hot and beaten
hectic and congested
desperate for reprieve from
distorted senses
intact deceits
a rotting core that speaks in vain
words befitting of a depraved conscious
degenerating into malice.

I simply stand
eyes agape
overcome with mystique
forgetting that you rinse and repeat
a trend with no end.
I've gone mad one too many times
head spinning like an exorcist scene
spewing derogatory wishes at you
eventhough its not true.

You bring out the worst in me
yet manage to make me love you
with all the same intensity.
