Her lungs are black-- Insomniac Her Love is free She's after me I'm up all night My words are trite Our will is dead I toss in bed We're doomed indeed Our vice is greed Three hearts had Lied We're dead inside Our pride won't mix We conjure tricks With words unsaid What faith is dead? Thus, lust is left With minds, bereft Had we not learned... That Love is earned?...
I normally write poetry with rhyme and strict meter, but rarely with cut-down meter like this...Let me know how it flows and what you think.
