Roadkill

If I have allowed you
to lie to me,
been guilty again of
gullibility, despite all this
hard-won experience,
let a pit open in my road
and let me fall in.
Let my insides
shrivel and die to be
eaten by foxes under a
black night sky.
Let my family
forget me quickly
and my friends
forget me entirely.
And you, when you
realise
the weight of
responsibility,
feel free to laugh at my memory.
