love and self respect twined into the rope surrounded by a toxic cloud of vagueness. I am the riff-raff of my own heart my own dishonesty to myself has increased the remorseless presentiment in my soul my reactions drowned in vain as he whispered the words that i have so often used on all the wrong faces my heart was taped together with duct tape ...still some pieces were missing my heart was not "ripped in half" it was set a blaze, tortured and hung left looking in the mirror at its own worthless reflection... ...how can a heart like that ever love again?

tug of war
love and self respect twined into the rope surrounded by a toxic cloud of vagueness. I am the riff-raff of my own heart my own dishonesty to myself has increased the remorseless presentiment in my soul my reactions drowned in vain as he whispered the words that i have so often used on all the wrong faces my heart was taped together with duct tape ...still some pieces were missing my heart was not "ripped in half" it was set a blaze, tortured and hung left looking in the mirror at its own worthless reflection... ...how can a heart like that ever love again?
