Once upon a time we were just broken pieces under false impression put together   shards that clashed crashed against each other   (and we called that  love)   spilled our our pain from tarried pages off empty screens   first we'd drink and smoke so much so our  serrated edges couldn't pop the  precious glass palace   I built around our fragile naked bodies- around my naked fragile heart (and called that love)   blanketed oblivion my swaddled shelter   out of a furl of smoke our stories coiled  in the cloistered air of your room   and I'd cry on behalf of your secret pain   and I  called that    love.   sometimes, our rage would swell out of a deep   someplace outside us ( ?maybe God Yahweh Jehovah The Universe) something (w)hole complete swirl Surreal    incomprehensible  and we'd lash- and retract   once I cracked her from a small shell she'd curled into  like a millipede    she asked "why do we do this to each other?"   Nothing has ever crushed me so much as love has crushed me   I am still just a splinter and so is she   except I am lost somewhere in a crack in the floor   and she glitters   this whole world watches her glitter from her small spot on the sidewalk

Once Upon A Time
Once upon a time we were just broken pieces under false impression put together   shards that clashed crashed against each other   (and we called that  love)   spilled our our pain from tarried pages off empty screens   first we'd drink and smoke so much so our  serrated edges couldn't pop the  precious glass palace   I built around our fragile naked bodies- around my naked fragile heart (and called that love)   blanketed oblivion my swaddled shelter   out of a furl of smoke our stories coiled  in the cloistered air of your room   and I'd cry on behalf of your secret pain   and I  called that    love.   sometimes, our rage would swell out of a deep   someplace outside us ( ?maybe God Yahweh Jehovah The Universe) something (w)hole complete swirl Surreal    incomprehensible  and we'd lash- and retract   once I cracked her from a small shell she'd curled into  like a millipede    she asked "why do we do this to each other?"   Nothing has ever crushed me so much as love has crushed me   I am still just a splinter and so is she   except I am lost somewhere in a crack in the floor   and she glitters   this whole world watches her glitter from her small spot on the sidewalk
