Innocent Love

 Take the love out of my embrace and keep it for yourself.

Your intentions were pure. 

As pure as the ripped-out heart of the devil. 

The devil carries a jar of ripped out hearts. 

You took that heart between your lips, eating your fill. 

You said your intentions were pure when you pushed me to a cliff. 

You took my love for yourself, turning it gray and rotten. 

Feeding it to mushrooms saying, not fun anymore. 

I gave you my love, so take it. 

Stuff my inflatable love into a carpetbag with no concern. 

Take my innocence between your fingers like a cigarette until it fills your lungs.

 Dissect me and pick me apart. 

Present me on a platter, heart not included. 

Sell me for a handful of compliments. 

Expose my nakedness and console what's left. 

Degrade me, degrade yourself. 

Cover my eyes, take all that's left. 

You knew I couldn't win your game. 

I have no love left to give. 

Not for you. 

You think yourself a mastermind, a devil. 

You are just a kid who thinks themselves a god.
