Guerilla
Mike tasted like
iron
fierro like the blood from toe to cerebro
the blood on his lip from the blows
from his step dad showed
Mike was a fighter
I left tasting like
iron
not because he kept kissing me
besando my bruises like he wasn't the one to do it
my lips were fierro flavored
his tasted like war
his mouth a country run by dictator
yo recuerdo el sabor
I became una guerilla
left him for a better life
ran for mil millas sin mirrar para tras
"But I love you"
Hasn't worked since
Because love doesn't hit
Or becomes selfish
Honey, you deserve the kind of love my mother gives.
She will bring you your favorties on your bad days
Because she loves you
I will take a train for four hours to see my best friend's face
Because I love him
he is best friend before boyfriend
"How was your day?" is how we say
I love you
Because I love you:
The reader of this poem
I give you the worst and best of me
And if you love me back
You can accept all of that
Because I love you I won't expect you to love me back
There is nothing in exhcange but acceptance, joy and sharing moments in the city of your choice
I, much like you will know what love is
You and I both know Mike will not be it
You deserve the kind of love my mother gives
Love somtimes never finds us at the right time, but it has always belonged to us.
