just smile and nod
as my head rolls by.
Ripped to shreds by love
my heart feeding the rats
my blood waters the ivy.
Torn to pieces by love
pick the part you like best
and toss it into the fire.
Ashes are to be envied
they blow on the wind
flying one last time
to the ends of the earth
the mountains, the oceans;
But remember the scream:
ecstasy and anguish
are shadow siblings
dancing by steel moonlight.
Torn apart by love--
because the talons that rip
were the hands of a dream.
Torn to pieces by love--
and your smile is only a stall
look, the rats, they wait,
For you.
Teeth like dirty needles
eyes like dead stars
smoldering in decay...
even now
I tell you no lies
so won't you just try
look me in the eyes
as my head rolls by.

Been very busy, I moved back to my old city, staying with a friend, and her computer dies suddenly... took me a bit of time to get mine out there, but here it is.
Thanks for the reads and the comments, this month is crazy for certain.
Hard hiting. Sharp. I liked it all but particularly liked:
Teeth like dirty needles
eyes like dead stars

WOW What a way to see love through eyes of ugly stuff... torn apart what else... yet so cute, so good... the way you always do
Astounding Eric...

Ouch, valentine's day massacre.
Like Lana, I loved the blood watering the ivy. (Just like Harvard.)
I think anyone who's ever been in love can relate, some of us more than others.
Of course, my mind being what it is, began to drift to the question of whether or not you can actually water ivy with your blood. Turns out, there are people who water their plants with their own blood.
Thanks for the comments yet again. And the links for those who provided them.
