Love's Last Warhead

I wake up in a polaroid haze;
Frenzied, splayed and unfocused.
I adjust to the themes of the day;
Wear a smile when I start to feel hopeless.

Murder, death, kill,
Rise and shine.
One day a hug would do fine.

I'm beyond all unreasonable doubt.
I swear and I choke like the others.
Dearly, I preen and I pout,
And I'm charming to all my friend's mothers.

Rape, abuse, guts,
Wakey-wake.
Show me a rainbow for God's sake.

Maybe I'm omniscient;
Perhaps I'm nuclear,
Love's last warhead.
Hope is ever present.
There is sweetness under my bed.

I work well on my own or in teams.
I'm outgoing and fun and resourceful.
I empty words onto ream after ream.
Bloodless words make me remorseful.

Here's how a love song might go,
With a pout and a hug and a rainbow.

To whom it may concern
My heart burns with live when your near me.
You make me smile you make me warm
And I care for you dearly.
Your touch it amplifies my soul,
You make me laugh so freely.
You give me hope for humankind,
My wounded heart,
You heal me.
