Learning to love
Unhinged though thy heart
Resided in chaos,
Unloved!
For years in the dark in the midst of hatred,
Not knowing that love warms the bones,
The body ached in the cold.
Comprised of someone else’s lies,
Love lingered unwilling to fulfil the unfulfilled
And heal the wounded.
For the footsteps of the burnt and their swords and pistols
Protected thee from hurt by murdering the lonely,
While love looked on with tears in her eyes
Not wanting to antagonise abuse,
And equalise itself to those that use.
It had no common quarrel,
And only good intentions.
But poisoned heart saw only warrant to arrest!
Test it! Best it! Not with reason! Not with truth!
