Can do without

Can do without

A 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.
