Liar, Liar

I

have kept

in a laboratory beaker

each drop of

poisonous venom

you have spoken

without so much

as second thought

not for a second

had you envisioned

that I would collect

save

preserve

the raw

complete sample
the data unaltered

liar,

liar

(and a stupid one at that)

hurting

an innocent

whom

I adore

only …

because you thought

you could

the evidence

now

has spoken

its truth

scurrilous  notes

written in your own hand

can not

be attributed

to anyone else

except

you

liar,

liar

shame on you

though you are too hardened

by self-pity

self-loathing’s shell

of narcissism

has inured you to guilt

liar,

liar

go away.

you pester

like a droning,

biting

fly

know this

liar,

liar

if I one day

get the chance

I shall …

strike out

swatting you down

to

eliminate

you

as a gesture
of mercy

for all decent people

to sweep you away

into the compost heap

is fitting justice

liar,

liar

you shall

lie (and lie and lie)

forever

unmoving

and

un-mourned
