of gentle lilting kisses upon your hand
Darling and Savage
Lovely and Shattering
The most passive wave
of self-destructive rage
It takes the quiet day
It grabs the soft silence
and rends it to pieces
Like a kitten and a couch
Like a drunkard and a life
Love only feeds the fear of being too much
Hate only points in one direction; inward
Beauty can't exist
Contentment long forgotten
Depression consumes them all
Yet among the broken landscape
of the once healthy being that was
There blossoms a bitter bloom
Upon every pedal is etched the words
"I don't care"
Which in its own perverted way
Is more wonderful then any happiness
The freedom to say, "I'm sad: Fuck off"
and mean every letter.
The freedom of the broken self
If only this dark monster
This hunter of inquisitive souls
Would give the gift of a teacher
And stay locked up within the class room
Like all good instructors
But this creature cannot be contained
Though it teaches something wonderful
It plagues every step and poisons every thought
Leaving whoever might have learned a single word
Too paralyzed to even think
Depress the world
And let every single being
Learn this most brutal lesson
Because only this dark fire
can purge our sickly heads.
