Why use 10, when 1 could hurt just as beautifully.

Month: April, 2014

have you ever thought

that your battles of today

would have been better fought

on the plains of bloodshed of the times past

that the sofas we sit on

should have been thrones of wood and steel

that the words we type upon keys

should have been swords against armour

hammers on skulls

i do in 2014

we loose our focus

the focus of blood, mud, and tears

should have been

focused on the sins of others

and the bleeding bodies of the weak

unlike your false knights

i can draw blood from a stone

if love is a rose

then sex is but lawn clippings

full of dog shit and cigarette butts

of all the whores

you stick like shit

to the ceiling fan of my life

blood

guts

and a soy cortado

have you ever heard a real piano

the sound of keys

to the locked doors of life

a curse on the man

that put filters on cigarettes

and pop music on the radio

stop crying for a second

and listen to your own heart breaking

beautiful

painful

and true

the charms of young women

pail in comparison

to the beautiful suffering

that a woman can bring upon us all

men

boys

the weak

there can be no hard feelings my dear

one cannot have the angst of a child

against a child

there is much to learn

and your time here has just begun

i am old to this world

and not long for it neither

not battle nor sickness shall take me this time

 this time

it shall be love

that removes me from your world
