seldom poetry

humans are an interesting breed
nothing empowers us more than greed
but emotions are what dissociate us from animals,
our greatest weakness, and our greatest strength
but what are we but hopeless romantics looking for love
or a purpose to feel less lonely in the world?
your tears wash away with the memories you hold
we toss our pain behind us in the very bag that drags us down
to the depths of the bottomless pit inside our souls
to trust in this lifetime is a stab in the back
no one will keep the secrets they swear to take to their grave
your past and your memories will be used as a weapon
but you are safe within the poetry you read, aren't you?
don't worry, words scribbled on a digital page can't hurt you
unless you have experiences to tie within the lines of the sentences
your very eyes carefully analyze with the very letters before you
disappear into the world of my rhymes my love
no one will hurt you here.
