i am already done with your

fucking

generation

did you bleed? she asked

not enough i said

so we fell in love

all over again

we could all take a few minutes to look around

and take a bullet or two

not sure if i wandered enough

not sure if i was ever really lost

disappear like a rider

on the storm

a hazy dinner

gold wine

owners and waitresses

a

killer on the road

i haven’t danced in a while i whispered

as my dyslexic feet quivered with the phrase

yeah you haven’t slept in a while either you fucking goon

ok but the dancing part i mumble

yeah that’s not gonna happen tonight

but why i question

you can’t dance to sadness all you life

you haven’t heard the smiths i snicker

there’s always time

for hard times

i could do with a short break from life right now

like a hundred years or two

love has set me on fire

love has frozen me solid

for love i have broken bones

many of mine

and a few of others

for love i have travelled the world

setting continents ablaze

tattooed love on my skin

only to cut it out again

for love i have held the strongest in my arms

and been the weakest of prey

for love,

love can do all all these things

but love, will never set you free

if it turns out that after all these years i was never actually born

you think i could actually die

?
