By Erinn Hearty
If love flows like a river, mine is black, still and
Filled with soil up to the brim
I take a bite and I'm poisoned as you hold
His soul for ransom
An act that displays only carelessness
Accompanied by a state of despair
A martyr to my own devices
In love and war all is fair
Why do I fall in love with strangers?
I’m entangled with the righteous
For what I hope for never succumbs
Only the sinful feed like the lions
The meek hope for the rainbow after the storm
While the go getters devour on nightmares and lust
Why did you steal my sun?
My insides are pure as snow
My fears created monsters
Winged creatures
The road ahead is paved yellow while you
Stand there stained red
I wanted to call you home
His gaze foretells whether I'll stay standing in my shadow
As I wait still and numb
His soft face ebbs in my past while I try to garner the moon
Baby blue, love lost, hope circles back around
I only hold dead roses as the queen sits on her throne
And takes my crown
Love died with your eyes, so I can no longer hold your stare
My heart stays cold as I blanket the clouds so I don’t have to bathe in your sins
I swallow your pain as I take your memory in vain
