threw my heart away.
was a stupid thing to do.
let anger overwhelm me.
and forgot about the truth.
threw my soul away.
it happened long ago.
so hard to remember pleasure.
when the pain starts to flow.
threw my heart away.
and now it’s done, no more.
smiles and love swept lingerings.
a closed up shop, a battered door.
the anger consumes me.
I cannot think.
I cannot breathe.
and nothing.
seems to help anymore.
the hurt lashes out.
strikes.
no way out.
I am better off.
alone.
then there’s no one to hurt.
when it is uncontrollable.
it is my right.
this pain.
no love enough.
to strengthen me.
no music to clear me.
no thoughts.
but of the end.
I want to get better
but it doesn’t last.
the anger consumes me.
makes me real.
in the corridor
between the asphalt and the sky
