[b]Love.
the Television was a splitting headache this morning
because you have forgotten to turn it off
for the fourth time this week
and countless times this month;
and I sat on the edge of my bed
head as heavy as a Wok that's on an elephant
the Telephone rang a cold heartless ringtone and
i staggered to answer it
and when i said 'hello'
i heard the familiar click
of the person i know who was calling for you
your tell-tale Underwear looking innocent as you slept
with it on the sofa
The Mirror was talking as I walked past it this morning
I tried to ignore what it was saying to me
and as I read the Newspapers
It calls out to me - a low seductive tone
a song of revenge and freedom...
i glanced at you
your body inert, inept mass on the sofa
the slow rise and fall of your snores
i gulped the Coffee -
black courage -
before the Kitchen Knife took my hand
and led me towards you.

Oh boy, you really did personify each item. Nice work.
