#2,573 All I had invested in was love

All I had invested in was love
& long rewards
[brief niggles
a temporary drop] –
look at a
life without an endlessness –
look ahead to quiet days –
no
compromise
[or promises] &
only my own air & breath –
A
home will always fall apart &
be sold off –
death’ll stiff life –
love is laid off
[if hate throws
up after a too-sweet offering
is shoved down your throat]
