A Different Kind of Love

Never

trust in the love

of the calm, 

of the quiet.

Never

leave your time 

to the chaotic god

who fears none

and 

rejoices 

in the loss 

of his own life.

For he never knew a kind word

and 

though tempting

we never had a chance.

Born into the salt of tears

he never learned 

how to smile,

to live,

without the promise of death.
