Untitled #6

A red flag has been rising.
The sparks flew at dawn.
The finch flies between us.
Carrying messages that we cry.
Mutiny is occurring
I plead that you flee
The noose is prepared
The floor of the dungeon painted red.
He loves you
He says
As he slits your throat
You stare at his eyes
Pleading with your soul
Because you just know
That he acts this way
Because of his childhood
Something like that
Nature versus Nurture
You can't blame him for that
His bare hands tear down your fortress
Right in front of your eyes
While softly cooing to you
Lying with his eyes
You just stare at his eyes
Pleading with your soul
Because you just know
That he acts this way
Because of his childhood
Something like that
Nature versus Nurture
You can't blame him for that
Purple, green, blue
Scars running deep
Going through
Your heart is hanging out
Blood dripping on your chest
Hanging by a last simple thread
He throws dirt at your vulnerability
Laughing at your irises
The tunnel to your truth
You just stare at his eyes
Pleading with your soul
Because you just know
That he acts this way
Because of his childhood
Something like that
Nature versus Nurture
You can't blame him for that
"Love him I mustn't give up
Our dear Lord has told us
Never give up"
Silver is the sword
Heavy is the rock
Sly is the fox
Love is an action
A verb if you will
But it doesn't mean put up with an
abusive strong willed
Son of a sailor
Who eats out your light
Steals what is most precious
Then casually walks out
Out of sight.
You just stare at his eyes
Pleading with your soul
Because you just know
That he acts this way
Because of his childhood
Something like that
Nature versus Nurture
You can't blame him for that.
