a eulogy
Jul 1, 2022
More swords
than words
for they scratched my heart
More masks
than faces
Beasts hiding daggers
behind their backs
waiting for your first slip
You show a flaw
they show a jaw
Jesus is decor on the wall
Forgiveness? [rolls eyeball]
They cannot hold love
with bare hands
but in a glove
for Love is scary
Beware of giving
beware of loving
beware of being
My heart is broken
but I am not scared
from a heart that’s holed
I’ll mend it with gold
like real Kintsugi
for I am not scared of scratches
for real
You lost nothing,
the mask whispered to me
I lost
my hero
and I grieve
and I cry
at nights
and sometimes
I write
a eulogy.
