classic arrogance, textbook dissonance
Poem...more cleaning out my wardrobe...
stripped naked
your sins exposed
her skin torn
metaphorical attacks
actual internal harm
absolution negated
screams of pain
your desire unstrained
blocks the harm
redacts the care
the heart wants
what
the heart wants
so to speak
the heart
a terrible litmus test
when it's broken
tainted and treacherous
lusty and selfish
classic arrogance
textbook dissonance
so to speak
it's the way you tell it
so well so twisted
in logic and truth
the more you spin
downplay the problem
the more you sin
more is the solution
the more you see
banquet for the eyes
the more you sear
the heart where it lies
tears of blood
torrential outpouring
again and again
will you/i/we
jump this train
or do it again
again and again
