I’m invincible, unstoppable
until I stub my toe
and come a cropper
and the earth below me shifts
and sits on my chest with a manic grin
The gasp for breath
like a feeble request for one more chance,
******* properly in a bunch
as all avenues close
These are the swings and roundabouts,
the reciprocal motions
that see rise and fall as one
decades in you’d think it’d all make sense
but this viscous, thick emotion
is as sticky as always

Love is for saps, suckers, and fools,
Love is pointless,
Love is the blues.
Love is cause for all the evil in the world,
Love is the gun,
Love is the girl.
Love is heartbreak and anger and fear,
Love is the pits,
Love is never clear.
Love is pain from the hottest wildest fire,
Love is burning,
Love is our strongest desire.
Love is what ails me every minute of every day,
Love is sickness,
Love is caring anyway.
Love is SO STUPID, it makes no sense,
Love is your touch,
Love is your lips.
Love is in me, though you do not care,
Love is rejection,
Love is not here.
Love is time, even when you don't have it,
Love is far-fetched,
Love is unrealistic.
Love is never real, reliable or true,
Love is someone else,
Love is not you.
