Lovesick

Accustom to the disaster at the end of the day

Promises swarm in lies of respect

Another loveless scar of a haunting mistake

Useless screaming in a locked room alone

Favoring your selfish plague, this mark of rage

Vision of resentment, respect is to blame

Once on your back and forever on your knees

Pray for this lust and release our fatal disease

Tried to cope, unkind remarks, these terms left unsaid

Apology for the hunted, the hand that gave this wound

Mother tongue is making an overachiever of you again

Invested this time in breaking the neck of virtue

An ego that can bruise with ease

This pair of heart-shaped lips would tear out your heart

Skinned knees across hard wood floors

Pulled hair, bruised skin, argument then war

This is the way we pay respect for this sin

Fine line, hate divine

Focus in on this lost essence that will end up eating what you have left

Simplified this love, falling into these bad times

Fingertips on bruised lips

This time a kiss won't make it better

Love lies dead in our imitation of passion

Blood stained mind with hate filled design

Her head tilts back as essence flows from these wrists of love

Unsettled in commitments like these

For better or worse, now begging grace

In words of wrath, union of disaster

The non-sterile thought of this hated design

These examples have been placed in clear view before

Forcing this period of time we called forever

Unwinding to the sound of her stopping breath

Understanding the truth of our end.
