The Guilt You Gave Me
wait for the rifle
to confirm guilt
I can self loathe myself
to nirvana but I cant
reach it
till you trigger on misdeeds
torture me
the groomsman
of your unrequited
love and I want
you to see it
yell hate on me
an acid that will
free
my sexual avarice
free
you for real happiness
I cannot give you
shoot at this heart
of mine that
pumped back once
twice
maybe
but always beat to
satiate a desire
yet I smell no
gunpowder
we had an accord
of stained sheets
cigarettes legs
rubbing sweat
you rape it
with feelings
leaving me chained
in unexpected emotion
guilty for your
breach of contract
and as I wait against
the firing wall
which one of us
is blindfolded
the bad loved
or the weak love
