Climb the highest mountain, punch the face of god
The Other Cheek
Dark circles
Dance
Dizzy trails
Like a ballet
Upon my face
Distinguished
By traits
To gape mouth
And flee a
Thousand "huh's"
Becoming
Denounced and
Feeding into the
Idea of
Love so false
And sickened
With affections
I end up
Bruised
Flattened
At the gesture
Fall asleep
On a
pile of
Nightmares, knowing
The ugly
Don't flourish
Eyes don't cross
And
Meaning is useless
How you
Became a
Pine puppet
To emotion,
I cannot fathom.
I turn
The other cheek.
It's easy
To pretend.
