universal twists (i don't want to love you anymore)

i don’t want to love you

anymore

i’d rather love books

and words

and the sea

when it rages

i’d rather love

adventure and

late nights

filled with smiles

i don’t want to hide

anymore

i’d rather fly

to a far away mountain

and scream

at the top of

a blue peak

i’d rather explode

with virtue

like a light—

a star

who has met

it’s end

i don’t want to love you

anymore

i don’t want

the sun to fall

i don’t want

my coffee to go cold

or my cigarettes

to wage war

on my lungs

but there’s little to do

when the universe

twists

in it’s inevitable ways
