Ithaca Apr 2019
Love is a war
Played like a game

These feelings are pawns
Marching to the flames

Burning passion blue
The blood trickles down

Who has time for fashion
When there are stains on the gown?

Her eyes weep gentle tears of blood in the cold and dead of midnight
Standing, shuttering, with the crimson stained knife in the candlelight

“I’m in love”, she whispered softly to the rag doll on the shelf
Smiling serenely, her insincerity masking her true self

With blood-stained hand and shifting eyes she lifts the butchered head
The sweet smell of death rotting intoxicating her evil spread

She slaughtered her love with the knife he gave her only the day before
All she wanted was to be with him forever and nothing more
This **** whack
Ithaca Apr 2019
Every tree begins as a seed
Every revolution is formed by a need
Any man can see the demands
But the legends of the future are the ones making plans

“Seven”
“Four?”
“Seven”
“Five?”
“Seven”
“Ok fine, six”
“Seven”
“Ugh, ok, here”
“You know I would’ve given it to you if you just asked instead of bartering for— Hey! You only gave me six you little...”
“Haha, what happened to just giving it to me?”
“Shut up”
Ithaca Apr 2019
Incessant worries
About someone I know
Never knowing how they feel

Bout time I told you
Indeed most of these are about you anyways
Never should have been so quiet
If all I wanted was to be your friend
One day I’ll learn
No one is ever really alone
Ithaca Apr 2019
I get angry with myself
When I don’t talk to you
When you’re right there
But all I do is stare
My mouth no speaketh around ya, and you probably think I don’t care
Ithaca Apr 2019
Give me the bottle to drown my sorrow
Give me the pill so I’ll never see tomorrow
Ithaca Apr 2019
The chaos of the fire,
It liberated me.
The cost of your desire,
Obliterated me.

The silence of my actions,
I never followed through.
When all the chips were down,
I abandoned you.
