LOVE ONLY BREAKS

we hate living with our eyes closed
letting the blind lead the blind
assumptions that rural infers safety
but the roads have its dangers, always
and little by little
the roads will grow
and i'll discover your heart by its side
the footprints new
and you'll circle the earth
you'll envelop the death
of a love, rotting like a carcass
love wails assumptions
and lust warns of vulnerability
we like to live, facing the world
with our eyes closed
and this is a vacancy
you blinked unknowingly past
let the tears fall
like rain from the sky
don't hold them back
you know you're a dream
by the side of the road
and that you can make
a clean break with your
last chance
while you slip on the surface
once again once again
and love hates, actually
the mud splatters as you walk
so know the wings can't be broken
because hate soils
love only breaks
