KILL ME AGAIN

you slaughtered
the me with you
the only me I knew

there was always another you
for someone else
that you hid away

a flicker of emotions
from the genes
takes me where angels
fear to tread
my survival instinct
became embodied in that smile


we find the silver lining -- it looks dead grey, at first
