Rubles Love Rubble

Pried out of a distance procured

Why do you devour a land not yours?

To consume it,

Break it apart, spit it out

Half digested

For this be told to your brothers and sisters

This is the way you want them to feel loved

“I want you,

I need you,

You were always mine.”

Those land mines, hmmm…

They cannot leave your arms fast enough

Before they break their lives, their homes

The things you want to call your own

No one looks back and remembers you fondly

No one leaves believing

That you’ll leave the place

Better than you found it

And the lies we tell on all sides

That this is love

There is a better definition

And it’s not because we are hurting

Watching you hurting

No, this has only just begun
