Val Murah Poet Free verse

Quit Love (Cold Turkey)

so think
maybe i'm not simple like you
my mind shifts through differing opinions
without relying solely on one
there are millions of people residing within me
sorry, my priorities are fixed
i am pinned to fences
a crucifixion
i am left weary, with no comprehension
of the measly tasks of
getting a raise
moving up
building a family
3 cars parked in a beautifully paved driveway

i'd kiss you
but you're just so f---ing beautiful
i'd drop then catch you 
without even so much as wincing
if i thought it'd amuse you
but you're not amused
and i am reclused
burdened with this sideways curse
and everyone, a condescending salesman
out to chip in to further their means
but i can smell the mice from the rats
and the mice don't bite... as hard
and honey, you're little but a rodent
a barely noticeable pain in my side

so so sorry to bring ya down
but my world is so much bigger than lost love
and lust unrelenting
