We’ve all lost lovers along the way
He said when asked about marrying
A former self-proclaimed whore who
Called her body community property
Once but now promised more to him
Some of us lose, greater than others
Some give ourselves over to despair
For those that find self-worth again
A soul forged by fire is stronger, then
10.28.19
Days went by, lost in the woods
Wandering in damp fog that bit through
My hopes of ever again finding you
10.27.19
If we’re willing to bleed,
fight, die for one another
we owe it to them, live
really live, while we can
10.26.19
Rain whispered out the window
Carrying the chills for the first fall
Freshly showered and steaming
Wrapped in a grey warm blanket
This soft, sad love of her and me
10.25.19
The strongest of men put on pads and helms
Colored uniforms under the brightest of lights
Charge into each other in great collisions
The loudest cheers in a magnificent stadium
Shaped like arenas thousands of years old
Where the strongest of men donned armor
And bludgeoned each other to death
For the passing pleasure of lucky few
The richest of men who judged Fates
As nothing more than entertainment
We know what fortune the Weavers scry
Yet it is easier to kick back, enjoy the lie
