When Love Is Youth

What slithering deseption
Lies he told
steel your youth, he’s drunk
unfold
with bitter 
sweet need 
animosity
 I want to hate
 love’s complexity
an adolescent after effect
insecurity, smudged
mystery
I want anger
burn,  
growl
but human nature 
for death is vowed
to love
the point,
that is our truth 
Love is lies
when love is youth
