LOVE IS A FAILED TATTOO

You gave me joy.
Now the joy is in tears.
You've achieved your ploy.
I'm now a prey to fear.

You heaped on me, hope.
Now the hope is dead.
With life I can't cope.
Sanity has lost her head.

You brightened my life.
Now my life has lost her sight.
My pain seems rife.
Endurance has lost her might.

A murdered promise.
I'm drowned in despair.
Judas Iscariot's kiss;
a deceit without repair.

Love is a failed tattoo;
annoying and frustrating.
It sucks like a dirty loo;
smelly and nauseating.
