The Lover With A Lion’s Claws







The Lover With A Lion’s Claws

destroy your life
it’s time
do it now

yes, it still appears
pretty
and took
years of painstaking effort
to construct

but you’ve known
all along
this
wasn’t meant to last

you’ve known
all along
nothing can, nothing will

you had hoped
it would serve you, but
it’s become
a discontented tyrant
with insatiable desires
who consumes you

you had hoped
it would protect you, but
it’s become
the unhealing wound
from where you bleed
perpetually

you had hoped
it would bring freedom, but
it’s become
a stifling prison
from which
you can find
no escape
nowhere
not even in sleep

find yourself
the lover with courage
and a lion’s claws
to shred your life to pieces

you know it’s time
do it now
