The Words I live By

It stings like venom
and sends shivers down my spine
just to know that you left me
and that you're no longer mine.
We had something special
we were reckless and free
but now you're with her
instead of with me.
What once was sweet
has now turned sour
you've poisoned me so
I'll wash you off in the shower.
The words I live by:
"Just keep going strong,"
have proven themselves
as helpful all along.
