Toxic Heart Art

I’ve been listening to your eyes The way they smile the way they cry Pulling for miles red heart’s insides Little crows feet forming thin lines Telling what tickle’s mahogany mind Or what pickles in memory’s teal time You’ve got hearts on a string Obedient like art got them trained Glance from you like calling name Love is a Lion and so we roar Walking the tightrope high above floor Fearing only the one we adore For if you abandoned us We’d be lost and scandalous Preferring tough love not lust Serve us like plates of soul food For amethyst audience to consume Each heartbreak an amber art bloom Will you tire of the balancing act Do you desire playing with fact Unconditional love you wear like hat Even a broken clock can be right Once a day once a neon night Is it time to say green goodbye To a love that is so strong Despite dilemma life long Heart holds on to you like a song Love of a toxic parent is wild Makes us licorice laugh makes us smile Makes us mad facing facts despite denial
