Hope

My love beats for you as

the drummer boy beats for war.

My hate for her

bubbles up and smothers love in

sweet promises and faux futures.

Though I am ignorant of most

feelings,

this I cannot ignore.

 

I hope for nothing more

than for you to slice her open

and toss her away.

Hurt her the way I have been hurt.

Glorify her body in words of hate,

carve them deep into soft skin.

Then when your done,

and all you're anger is diminished

come back to me

and love me 'till you're finished.
