Something aking to love

Baby Girl,

Get off of my chest

I need to breathe.

Inhale

I have something to let out.

Wipe off the tears

That begs bruises away.

You know what it is like

To live a life

That is swollen on detail

And scarcely explained

In the hope of some outer tranquility?

They say suicide is a coward’s way out

So we stay here the brave ones I suppose

Fearing death the entire time.

Holding on to each other’s shoulders

The ups and downs of life

But all these years later

I still cannot call it humping.

Well it is not like we would get pregnant.

It isn’t like the Buddhist wont go to hell

Their religion has no place for the Christian Lord.

Lord Jesus

What is this all about?

Granting ovaries to those

Who should shave their pubes

Out of shame

Of the children they are.

Infested with everything that would bring me down

Just not enough to kill them.

Coffins end drama.

Though they are made the excuse of so much of it.

Bibles and bibles and bibles

As if to say

“If no one will love you

Then at least you could call this rape

Something akin to love.”
