A Poem by Jake Brunton

Written 02/11/17 2:10 PM

I opened my eye to love
and died
I carved out a wound
and cried.

Everyone loves hate.

Sorrowful with ink I write
my elegy
Sorrowful with fate I mourn
my emotions.

Everyone hates love.

Battling this war we rue
our emotions
Battling this war we knew
our corruption.

We fight, minerva.

Living with all
i tie
No love returned;
i die.

I opened my eye to love
and died
I opened my soul to truth,
and came to fly.

(original work by Jake Brunton)
