You dont love her
For the flower she is.

You don't kiss evey petal
As tender as the breeze intended.

You don't prop her stem
Allowing her to grow tall and strong.

You love her
Like your next victim
-like the prey you think she is

You love her
By giving her the water she needs
-only to drown her in it

You love her
By plucking her from the ground
-and ending her beauty

I can feel your love fading
And that's fine.
I always knew
This day would come.
I just never anticipated
That I could be replaced so quickly.

I want to kiss her endlessly
Beneath the stars
Embroidered on her belt

I long to fill her mouth
With the music
From my lips

If only for a day
I'd love to replenish her heart
With the warmth from mine

Perhaps even
Line her floor
With the colors of our clothes

You were supposed to be
my hero.
So then tell my why
in the face of the fire and flames
you left me to perish alone.

Some monsters have hearts
And we become the monsters
When we dont look for them

Misery and pain
Are nothing more
Than the remnants
Of expired love

Is that you never blame yourself.

Becuase it wasn't your fault.
