There is only one type of love
and when it breaks,
it snaps like a corn stalk
spring's work, come undone
And we watch the yield rot
like a wound untended
It is still useful,
but the substance of it,
hollow...shambled
too many renegades to gather
If I were a God,
I would learn how to
grow from destruction
or how to be around you
without heart
I would learn,
how not to cut you in half
how to keep the green fields of
your smile in my glassy eyes
maybe you're really done.
this once, or a thousand times over
I know I have watched you
punch a wall until your
knuckles turn purple
and your tears turn to a solid texture
or maybe this once
after a thousand times over
you will just toss the rot
into the waste basket
and I will never see your
careless neglect again.
