Dysfunctional Dignity -

I can see us now Luv, pettin ponies, musing in warm moon light, free versin in satin style, a smile born from genuine form, Two hearts too stubborn for apologies or effigies of maybies, sunburned by stardom, kingdom of monsters fathomed, forlorn by the "Cloak and Dagger" of fox hunt horn, withholdin my love from you feels like a wasted martyrdom, The riverbanks of apocolypse may swell over my joy but I will not drown Luv, I will not crumple, winds of hysterical what could be scratch my face still I do not frown, I collapse not to the ground, I am not a runaway from your palace of peeps & pain, nor am I a tresspasser in your orchard of ecstacy, I can no longer accept lovin you in the third person, these masks of merrigold manipulation have become dreadful, Much of my life has been spent defendin against manipulators, abusers, haters, and mockers, I needed to hear you say that my affection for you was not taken for granted, Thanks for being my Eve on those evenings of earnest thirst, my Viper Rose, that it was I you chose, as God knows, my love is not runnin, its stayin, not prayin or playin just gainin from the sayin, love once levied is forever bevied, gotta keep certain that my spine is mine Luv - J.A.B.
