The Blood & The Bones

keep your kept man
and send me the warrior
because i want to grow old
in a place like this
with a man who once did
necessary evils
in the name of freedom
And maybe he couldn’t
get these deeds
out his head
until he found
a heart like mine
that loved him
because of who
he is and was
rather than
in spite of this
And together
we ran into the woods
to quiet the noise
to escape it
