When Mom says "No" and heart says "Yes"

A Poem by Vera Young

About Broken Heart and other bullshit

Have you ever fall in Love?

Ever lost yourself completely?

Crushed so bad and fell so low,

That your brain was damaged deeply?

Got possessive and obsessed?

Lost control of all the senses?

Craved as zombie craves the brain,

Bleeding through the consequences?

If you haven’t, go to church.

Burn a candle, stay for service,

Pray to God and Universe

For protection from this burden.
