Live through this

take it scalding

take it hot

take it till it

hurts to squat.

a daily ass-beating;

that'll do

take it till u're

black & blue

take a beating
take it rough
take till you've
had enough

take all the above

but don't shed a tear

there'll be plenty plenty plenty plenty more

throughout the coming years.

take all the above

and seal it with a kiss:

God bless you

if you can love through this

Won't Be Mine

u won't b mine.
i guarantee it.
one day i won't b your saviour
    sweeping u  up and out
of a life
that you keep running back to.

one day i'll be at the window
watching u thinning out into
nothing ness.
my hands wiped clean.
the feet faced forward.
moving.
on.
even if loving u
means
i have to change my # to a non-published #

u won't be mine.
eventually.
i guarantee it.
and poof,
you will be gone from my life instantly (?)
no matter how badly i want u back.
you will not be mine
(here's my new #)
