Something like this, or what do you think?
The only love poem I need to write
they say that you
write for therapy
they have no idea
and they claim
that you
stand on your own
but I’m limping around
on sawn off kneecaps
leaving blood and flesh
leaving marks and diseases
and the fight
you never win
is only your own
the black hole in your chest
is a heart
you abused and emptied of love
and he has met another
happy days
to those who deserve it sweetheart
and the difference
between him and I
is that he
is a real man
and I am a boy
who never could reach the sun
no matter how hard I tried,
is he better
tell me
is he
better than I am
I know
he is
baby blue,
he washes away the splash of blue
you have
in your green eyes
so sweep your blanket around him
where he likes it best
in your warmth
and listening
to the music
in your laughter
happy days
to those who deserve it sweetheart
sparkle your eyes
give your body
love him like I never
existed
you deserve it
I wish that
the lava in my veins cools
one day
I wish
my name was a name
people associated with yours
a sort of future
not to worry about
and you
in all honesty
you do not know this
all I have
written you and worshiped you through poetry
how I’ve built a temple of words
around you
you know nothing
but it does not matter, you love
you love
and I,
I forgive you
if you
would one day see me
in him
or someone else
it’s not easy
babyblue
it is never easy
it’s never
a game
it is a question of give and take
and I took
and took
until I lost everything
