Look at this man.
Do you know what I'm after?
Do you know what happens
when screams replace laughter?
You're a platter.
...couldn't be improved with fried batter.
...but does that matter
when you intentionally make me madder?
Tears, rips and tatters,
thrown swears and adders
slice up the cadaver.
Blood splatters.
What is it that you're after?
Is it somewhere up this ladder?
The higher that you climb
the more your life gets sadder.
Looking at yourself,
you know that you're mad at her.
...and your sad matters,
...but only to sad havers
of bad batterers gathered
to have their fractures spattered
with words designed to flatter.
That's love backwards.
