For better or for worse
That's what they say
You play me like that last note
Of that one song you can't get out of your head.
~~~
Trapped in an endless loop
Lyrics so old
Waiting for the next melody
Of better days to come.
~~~
Hearts collapsed
Salty blue's
Peeking behind the curtain
You see the truest of true's.
~~~
Eating out of your hand
Like a dog to its master
Dissoriented feelings
Your vice,
My price to pay.
~~~
Enveloping sense of something coming
Is it good or bad?
Who's to know.
~~~
Liquorice lips
And satin sheets
A cover
For your narcissistic core.
~~~
Cancer of the cosmos
Rotting and consumed
Prankster of the heart
Forever and always
The Joker to my Harley.
~~~
Twisted Love.

It starts with love.. The Power to the God Of War and Wealth Walk into a Chinese restaurant (even in Oklahoma, USA), a Chinese police station, a kung fu martial arts studio or even a Chinese temple and you often see a red faced warrior holding a heavy quan-do (spear like weapon).

I FELT EVERY WORD! I HAVE BEEN THERE!
Impressive! Sad and hopeful and toxic all interwoven into one beautiful poem
Each line seems to unravel another layer of the emotional tapestry, revealing the intricacies of a complicated love story. 🎭💔
The Joker to my Harley. That was just so bittersweet. Your poem was extremely relatable!
