Joel Thornton Poet Carpe Diem

Do Recall

REMEMBER 
          My love.                    Find your strength, 
Brave enough to bleed away weeks out of days. 
Falling apart on empty lonesome nights. 
                                                            Waiting for her to speak 
Sun warming rays, doomed from my start. 
Fell into your fights.    Never RESET. (change modes.) 
Someday I must learn the difference between stupid and smart. 
Protest all you want 
I remain uninvolved (can't decrypt the secret code) 
In your:                    Plights and Plots 
Forget the fights, and the loss. 
Remember to love; 
Everyone and thing that to you, 
Means a lot. 
But what do I got? 
To show for friendship or love? 
(More of this or not enough of) 
SOURED in-utero                    Tainted memory 
WORTHLESS SOUVENIR 
From scab to scar, without a second thought. 
Preoccupied - Empowered to know what's true. 
What not to Fear.  Tainted memory, 
Enslaved to lifestyles. Poisonous Chemistry 
Much like your whorish contagious mystery. 
A scarred arm, a scarlet letter Souvenir.
