"The End of Love"

I my soul have fortified with
hatred and self-loathing;
preemptive action to
save it from all the
opportunistic
fiends looking
for an opening

Galvanized and stone cold
its been made; with thorns
its been woven, and motes
round-about

Overlaid with steel reinforced
to keep everything out

Try to penetrate it with all of
the faux kindness that you
can, but I know that that
doesn't exist anymore,
so, go away and never
scheme on me again

Fuck you and all of your
gentle coaxings to lull me
away knowing good goddamned
well how that works out in the
end

You suck me in and eventually it
all goes to shit; then when you're
satisfied my life you rend
