I hallowed out the eyes
Where love
Caused Corrosion in my veins
I skimmed the fat
Of clogged hearts
Hoping to digest a love
Grown organically
Instead of being drowned
By the pesticides of our generation
I filled my mind
With smoke
Of metaphors
Of how I tasted Love
Till It burned my mind
But I come undone
Unraveling in
soaked blood sheets
Of hundreds of hearts
Washed up onto my pillowcases
Despite feeling numb
Every time Love
Touches my lips
My mouth burns
realizing I believed in love
Meant for another life
Eventually,
it all comes undone
Eventually everyone settles over dead hearts
In this smoke filled room
