ode of love + hate

you looked me right in the eye
I could see the burning embers of hell
reflect in those
damn blue eyes
and maybe I shouldn’t love who I love
but your mouth
those words
you’d think I fell
head over heels
for a serial killer
no she’s just a
girl
and it happens to be i am
too
you think I want
fame?
come back from
heaven all I feel
is shame
from you and your
gang
you act like
all we want is
notoriety
we just want acceptance
for our entirety
and yes
maybe those signs
in your hand
letters like
bullets piercing
our hope
will end up in a
landfill
and maybe 30
years from know
this will be a story
of injustice documented
on the pages of a
middle school textbook
maybe this hate will
fade
but right
now
this
day
minute
second
I feel my heart
break
