You play with such pathetic
Little bitty ****** pretty boys
Who plagiarized my heart’s
Purpose and deep content
Saw you sleep and laughed
Wrote you clichéd love songs
But did not know the real words
Till I gave them the light
They Could not shine half as bright
Because they did not have
My tremendous might

While they were praying
Still staying out late
Drinking and playing
I was out dragon slaying
In the name of true love
Not *** and ***** stuff
But appreciation, admiration
And millennia’s worth of wisdom
In our shared written history

But my truth is not enough
You wear another man’s touch
Dream of the poison he brings
How he breaks you in two
Shades of silky ribbon grey
Ties you down to archaic ways
Like you are some thing

Where he bought you
Black roses ready to wilt
I bought you a world of fields
Full of an infinite variety
of flowers to see
each one named after you
Shining barely half as beautifully

Where he gave you
Rotten sewage and sludge
I gave you an ocean’s worth
Of dolphin filled sparkling love

Where he gave you
Noxious fumes
Spiraling up to the moon
I gave you kind clouds
That could look like anything
And a radiant sun
Guarding you from
Darkness’s invasion

Where he gave you a diamond
I wanted to give you the universe
But he bought you an expensive purse
Walked you straight up to your hearse
Before my verses of love
Could ever pierce the madness
Proving once more
That the true heart of a poet
Is meant to beat alone
