Your love was a lie
It was green candy
that I kept in my mouth for awhile
until the flavor dissolved
Now I have dirty fingernails
because I work so hard to
keep my heart open enough to pump
I get by.
The world is on fire anyway
or shaking itself to pieces
or digging up old hatred
Love was never enough to keep
any of us from breaking.

This is awesome! Loving your work...
