Savagery and Bliss

By BrenPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

empty vases

ignorance and piss

wasted shadows

wasted moments

precious few

not lessened in value

by absence

savagery and bliss

everything i miss

nothing at all

don’t know

can’t show

what is real

what is not?

affairs of the heart

confused from the start

i took a fall

zip becomes all

i don’t know

what to do.

savagery and bliss,

the lie

the sweetest kiss

don’t know if i can be close

and what i miss the most.

i don’t know who i am

another drug fucked sham?

a pissed and angry slam?

another love you/fuck you scam?

no, not me

savagery and bliss

i have lost all the warmth

yours, mine

and whatever in between

i’m not prepared to give

maybe you want too much

savagery and bliss

heartbreak
