Two Love Poems

I asked you if you wanted to fight
the type of fight where you hit me
but i don’t hit you back
you just keep hitting me and i smile
I like that type of fight
you hit me i smile
you laughed and said
but that’s abuse
i smiled and laughed
I know the possibilities are endless
but there just actually
burn down the house mail me a hotel
Literal actual real life death
Oh blissful moment
Caught in the maws of pleasure
For life is pain
Love sounds
like
I’m sorry
Crouched over my cell phone looking for meaning
I’M THINKING ABOUT YOU
RIGHT NOW AND I’VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT YOU
FOR DAYS
WHEN I JERK OFF I SEE YOUR FACE
Pink light fades the mouth of the riot
(the act of being born causes suffering)
Loveless industrial oppressions
Extend the reach of the body
I don’t believe in the possibilities of the wrong
Bliss and pleasure
How
does anybody ever get any pleasure?
is it even worth it ?
