Age 13 your heart called out for attention Bed sheets stained with your innocence Every tear flooding out the cotton fibers of your pillows New Orleans had it bad with Katrina Yet your tsunami desires for love Hit harder than Haiti's tsunami Quicker than the loss of life in Pompeii I'm sorry age matters in this world I'd take you in my arms Hold you close and hope your wings develop In the safety of my nesting heart Age 15 and you're already being considered a ***** Tattooed, branded with the titles of ****, ***** And the constant question of guys 4 years older "Can you **** my ****?" I'm sorry I was never given the chance to love you Tell you how much you mean To me and my world of death and pain I understand 17 years old and I'm labeled a psychopath Only because I love the sight of horror I'm crazy because I dissected an already dead cat Insane because I stabbed my brother with his own knife We're outcast in today's society Because we don't conform to the fashions The styles of tomorrow Instead we bask in the glory of our demise Praying to every god in every book To take the blade another 6 cm deeper To have the alcohol in our liver Erode the burning emotions We were blessed to have yet cursed to never be reciprocated I'm sorry I was never given the chance to love you I would have loved you the way an angelic demon like yourself Always dreamed of since the age of 6 Shame you're a thousand miles away Dancing on the rose pedals that wilted on your grave I should have sent a bouquet You would have known you were loved
