Upon looking at a picture of a past love.
Cornered picture on the wall,
Bursting into flames like the
Incarnate soul that you are.
I know your heart can’t ever stall

Out because it never pumped.
It never was anything but a ridden
Black bit of shoe sole. With your
Blonde hair, screaming while humped,

You stupid imp whore. Say goodbye
To this heart of mine. It is the only
True thing you’ll ever find. Snapping
Into your broken fingers, mouth gone dry,

I realize that nothing will ever satisfy
You. You and you god damn chisel
And rock or stone. You could never
Leave anything alone, even a sigh,

Nor create anything but a drained
Smile. Distraught. Your smile may
Go up in flames soon. You. You and your
Bile.… you are so god damn disdained.
