Cupid

please excuse the broken winged messenger

due to a vulnerability that clouded my sight 

but your radiance gave it away

your. direction. 

your. time

its all sublime

roots of that stolen cotton swells within my throat as i stomach your false truth. 

you see you cannot hide from me, like me from you

i wont allow you to see it in my eyes

i wont allow you to hear it in my voice

you cant taste it on my skin as i do with you

your mask is crooked and chip 

and i only wish to rip it off to reveal 

the retired magician within the midst of his disastrous last trick

all that status 

and for what

to shrivel away on the worldly stage of hopeless deceit and lies

why must you insist on picking up that retched dagger strong and made to kill all that is 

all that was

becoming

worthless nights

wasteful words

and bloody hands
