ending it

your arms are not enough
    your apologies
      and kisses
  can't cancel out
    the sickness
    the wrongness
      of our union
you push my buttons
  until I'm ugly
    with hatred
   and disgust
   you tear me down
  and dance
    on me
 and the spell
  is broken
and it's all crap
 once again
and all that is left
 is a broken mirror
  and a long drive
       home
