down.
close all the borders
close all the universities
no more sporting events
no more company
you stay in your place
I in mine
and we’ll communicate as
we’ve always done –
through the lines

Break my bones;
cut my throat.
Pull me open,
learn the ropes.

Breath me in;
taste the fear.
Shank my skin;
stand and cheer.

Kick my head;
let me bleed.
Unbolt my veins;
enjoy the read.

Gouge my eyes;
punch my face.
Wrap me up
in your embrace.

I always eat the soup before it cools down
I’ve been burnt many times over
Yet I never let it settle

Love didn't end wars
It started them

When I'm near my heart smiles
She lightens my mood
Controls my world
That's why I love her.

She's phenomenal
My one true love
I can't do without her
I gave her the keys to my heart
And she gave me hers.

Can I leave?
No, no, I can't
She owns me,
I own her.

You’ve won the battle,
survived the duel,
with your sharpened sword,
and I, devoid of a shield.

Here’s your trophy!
Your hardwon medal.
Beware, it’s heavy,
weighed down by my forgotten dignity.

Why are you pulling at your hair?
Tugging the locks, looking scared?
Why are you crying when you’ve won?
Does my death makes you undone?

Scream louder if you dare,
wail upon my nameless grave.
You killed me, you!

My blood was drawn,
by my own.
