sickness of the mind

Linds M. Crate

you’re the pomegranate
stain on my
heart

a purple wound
unhealing

i wish i could set fire
to all the bridges that carry
your name

no means no
i don’t know why

that’s something so hard to respect
don’t know why you couldn’t
just say okay

why some stupid video game
mattered more to you than i did?

it’s pretty messed up
that you would care more for
a gaming system

than the person who was
sitting there living, breathing in the same room

as you;
yet instead of feeling empathy or kindness
feel the need to be dominate them.
