The Silver Platter

The Silver Platter

A Poem by Ookpik

Love, can be a fool's errand Or a tasteless joke. Love can be a tasteless feeling Spit, swallow or choke
What a terrible joke.
True love is endless Haunting Disgusting And sequentially Re arranging
It will leave the strongest Defenseless
And the motivated Purposeless
Love is proven through sacrifice
I give you my heart My lungs My chest And my soul
I offer my minds eye On a silver platter And you leave me with An empty. Throbbing. Hole.
What the f**k is the point? When love leaves me broken With aching joints.
Weak in the knees With both hands Trembling.
I choose patience For i know
Love, love is endless
And i know i will not love the same Ever again.
Aaron. S. M. Burgess
