A Tooth for an Eye

Its hard for me to know

where the hell

I went wrong

I never thought I'd see the day

We wouldn't get along

 

My thoughtghosts linger

on ancient code

with

severed brute vengeance

against your vile

harlot

wickedness.

My eye half blind

from the vicious

bolero

of your deceitful

venom tongue

may see

this wretcheed envy

once unknown

as it is now

an evil I have witnessed

once before

within you,

my divided enemy.

And this treachery is truly

an eye for an eye

when all

have fallen victim

to his own

horrid

lust.

Yet I am but made of youth

and the only trade

that

I have known

is that

of love

for scorn.
