No More Immaculate Slates

I've given you immaculate slates With every blink of my eyes, Only to watch you tarnish them with all my inequities. I've tried to push you away With more force then every exhale. I've drained myself to continue the symptoms Never to be offered a transfusion. I've prayed for solace Only to be asked for more reparations. I've burned every vein Trying to convey my love for you. I've watched in disbelief As you showed me the fate of our world. I've screamed for you While you made me your exile. I've seen you in me With more certainty than our bodies on this earth. I've learned to hate myself By your example. I've given you up To gain faith in the potential. I've broken all your immaculate slates With a pump of my heart.
