definition

The quick, bitter thoughts after a conversation with someone you believ(ed) to be your true and only love.

 

pulling teeth.
and sucking everything out of your sockets.
i taste the years of things left unsaid in your blood.
iron, copper, oil.
you're rich, baby, you're rich.

every morning
i stand under the water in the shower
and touch my wrists.
feeling where i'll make my mark.
that was all i could think when you
said you were glad i wasn't dying.

i guess it depends on how you define
"dying".

hey! You gave me determination.

[David Lewis Paget]

How terrible! To suddenly discover that your life has been a lie all along. But don't give him the satisfaction of taking that life; nobody's worth that! Your final line is poignant, and disturbing. It should give you the answer to your problem... Leave him!
