There were tears
There were those moments where blood covered the wounds
Those internally scarred emotions hidden
Smiles showed only what was supposed to be
While the reality was pure Hell wrapped in tattoos and vodka
Shot glasses tossed into walls as a drunken rage
Led to red spotted walls and stupors into tomorrow
The morning breakfast fills the room with an aroma
That momentarily guided the attention from the swollen joints
To the perception of a perfect day
Far away lying in a ditch of wishes
Souls intertwined through love clash as titans
As Aphrodite appears every blue moon until Ares blasts through the body’s temple
That was raw emotion
It was the steady flow of passion that made the fists so powerful
Leading to a heart beating rapidly repeatedly
The sweat burns the scratches but feeds the moment
Two lovers disappearing in time
Closing their eyes imagining the memories replaying in their memory
Brains shut down as a colossal misjudgment allows a diehard bond
Never belonging in the same region cupid forces the reunion
Half praise, half nays no explanation is given
The rhythm of the pulse keeps him and her aware of the time
Clocks aligned on a wall meant for photos
But the wallpaper dwells beneath pretend happiness and faulty appreciation
That was raw emotion
Sitting in the corner rocking and wondering
Comparing love to the comedic relief on the movie screen
Not realizing that no love story ends with winners
Losers stem from the mentally abusive aspect of it all
She bleeds as he needs to define the purpose and refine the structure
No one can bless a union so filled with hate and anger
God tries to push them apart
And while they strain to remain they spontaneously combust
Into a force of redemption and excuses
Feeling less than nothing the numbness allows continuance
The rawest hand ever dealt
Far after they’re long gone
We point and wonder
Wish and hope
Miracles and Dreams
The reality of a nightmare.
