The deer stare through my window screen
As the woods behind evade me and the shadows complete
The call of pigeons bleed
Like a festering wound
The hogs move in to feed
Before the heart begins to bloom
It's warm
As it was in my mother's womb
But it hurts
No one can love me like you do
Through the lens of life
All I perceive is peace
The arms I used to hold
Withdraw their embrace from me
And it's pointless
When the words have no meaning
All you didn't say
Are the thoughts I keep repeating
It's old
Something is always amiss
I know I'm broken
But I wanted so much more than this
And I
Ripped out my spine over you
The petals of incomplete roses
Acted as love me nots in these terrible moments
