PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I should always enjoy being kind to you

no matter the outcome 

donning a warrior's code

alignment raises our sum 

Yet to offer a whole heart

is now irresponsible to myself

so I'm just gonna jettison off this busted shelf

lie down here, bleed a while

coagulate myself,

and regain

retain a fettered health 

I know your truth isn't solely a matter of yesses and noes

sometimes it's standing firm in the wake of a my cantankerous

albeit aware

yearned, lured libido

donning no cape, no ultimate bond, no assorted ribbons, or big red bows

you clumsily land so many bruisable body blows

for such a definitive set of personal reasons

rejecting me

along your foundation of crumbled, busted concrete

Yet you, and that home, were never mine to claim

I suppose I can never lose what hasn't been offered to me anyway

and the reality of my choices remains the same..

so no matter which gospel you preach

and no matter the retracted

albeit very jagged

rows of sunken teeth

for her, my hope is mince meat

making a steady man's heart go weak

for no valued reasons

fading 'we' to foreign memories
