How many times can a man stand a heart break?

What does it take, to become smart enough,

To know you are going to crash?

Yet another time…

 

Love is only a drug.

A stupid bubble that carries you in the sky

And then…bam! You knock on the ground.

With a deafening sound.

An amorphous mass of flesh and bones

Your bloody hopes lie smashed.

How many times can you rearrange this puzzle?

What does it take, to become complete?

Yet another time…

 

Love is only a joke.

A stupid poem that drags you into the light

And then…bam! You lose your footing in the dark

With weeping eyes.

A quenched spirit of disenchantment and ash.

Your bloody ego lies trampled.

How many times can you rekindle this flame?

What does it take to become None?

Yet another time…

 

Love is only a dream.

A stupid pair of wings that fly you high, in zero gravity

And then…bam! You crawl on your knees.

With frightened screams.

A pathetic tangle of insecurities and needs

Your bloody addiction shivering.

How many times can you liberate yourself?

What does it take to become free?

Yet another time…

 

Love is only a cheat.

A stupid appetizer that stimulates you to live

And then…bam! You crave for death.

With a romantic yearning.

A desperate song of failed promises and vows.

Your bloody soul lies cold dead.

How many times can you birth love?

What does it take to be loved?

Just this once…

 

I grew too old and weary to fix this mess

Yet another time…

I needed you to last…

My heart is yours

Stamp upon it, or pick it up.

…bam! I am just done.
