Hate

I cannot hate you

though only God knows how hard i try

It's not our songs that make me cry

it was the dance we shared

I rework the steps in head

trace the thread from end to start

yet the filaments fray under touch

observation, physics, shift

and the memories are never clear

the only thing I know

is i fell in a trap

deceived by my better half

my better half

no longer whole

bitter fermentation of the fruits of love

drown again in the bottle

of aged oak drink

hop and barley

they said I was ****** but can't recall

yet there's a picture of me unconscious

***** sprayed upon painted brick walls
