sporadic spiders with tentacles for legs have nothing to do with the ongoing situation

A Poem by Tyler Hipple
"

Old but gold

"
We are thieves of fortune
Finding fortitude in foul fated love
Tearing out our ribs to better understand our hearts
We are the surgeons nobody asked for

We bleed symphonies of pain and lust
Making love to our wounds so we may birth a better agony
Because in all honesty, I'm bored of the same old hurt
I need something so awful, I wish for nothing but release

You are the mad doctor, I am your creation
So of course it hurt when you abandoned me
For it only proved what I knew to be true
I am your favorite failure

Love, we are
Are we love?
We are
Love me, until we can love no more

Words get stuck in your throat and you choke
Choke on the lies you've been fed
Spoon-fed bullshit and tall-tales
A feast of fibs and false information

We shove our worries away
Carry them behind the sea
Cover them carefully with clouds
Tucking them safely beyond the horizon

We are pirates
Ravaging the ocean
With our ship made of broken teeth and heartstrings
We sail on together for that's all we can manage
