A Way Into The Darkness: No Love Poems

If that's the only thing
You told me to do
Sometimes life feels
Like a death sentence
Our hands around each others throats
In this dance
Walking down the street
With a furtive glance
No rhyme motherfucker
No free verse
No love poems
Take my heart
Into your hand
And smash it
Against the wall
Until the blood drips
And it is time to go home
He was not interested in lies
All he wanted was the truth
Stretched out before him
So that he could see the sun
He wanted to dive into the sea
The peace of the day was at hand
Do we have to kill each other
To prove survival?
I wish I could conquer existence for you
I wish I could shame the sun
Into revealing its secrets
And dying with us
