![]() Can do withoutA Poem by Gerhardus Retief
Yell, Lie ,Betray, Crush these are the things I can do without.
Even when I'm talking to you its the heart that talks. But in return there was mostly love before I unmasked you. I'm standing on the brink of your heart. Yet there was no pulling me any further than that. Let me fall was never a request that just came with the paycheck of the pain. Awakened my anger, my old me, my monster! Maybe this is what I have always been. These are the things I can do without. Tighten my air so that my blood flow will thicken and turn me into a blood apple. As fat as my heart was it has been reduced to a card. The lucky joker card that this relationship has been reduced to. You see these are the things I can do without. I wasn't in for the know to bow to you. Worshiped you like a princess in a pearl's shining. Stultifying my words my feelings to be leading my life into a book. The book that never ends until it burns. These are the things I can do without. So here is the thing that I can't live without. The irritation the love the right wing of your hand when you swear to me. So why do like playing around with me while I'm breaking down? I tell you never again. © 2011 Gerhardus Retief |
