Falsified You

when first we met
goosebumps of neosporin bubbled in the
crevasses of my soul cargoed casket
the weight of life divided it's pressures
among two co-equal dependants
every ounce of my being belonged
to your ecstasy
your fantasy
your everything
and everything so much belonged to me
I took a dose of you every day
from you my doctor,  recommended your medicine
the happiness your metal toy soldier overwhelmed for

but I was hallucinatory on your prescription

after our inexperienced greeting
gauntlets of phosphorus spilled into
the eye-sockets I saw you with
my once sturdy tin heart suffered with
a burning ulcer of sulfuric acid
everything I knew of you changed
your halo'd sweetness
your care-bear cuteness
your everything
and everything dissolved into iodine pools
that I tumbled into after scraping down
your 1-inch sand-paper pipes
so I,
a little toy soldier battling his last war

has now the reason to resign
