Love poem.

Tonight I'm going to write.
I'm going to write until I don't feel like myself anymore.
I'm going to write truth buried in a heap of lies
and I'm going to spit it back into your face,
into your eyes until the truth fucking blinds you.

I'm going to write of caged birds with deaf owners
who mistake squawks of desperation for bird song
and then I'm going to set those birds free,
because you were always scared of flying
so you clipped my wings and told me you were keeping me grounded
while you were dragging me down.

I'm going to write you a string of sentences about love
I'll use every beautiful word I know
and then I'm going to hang you with it
because love is better when its feet don't touch the ground.
