Handle With Care

 
 
 
How fragile is the ego?
 
Spurred on by an unforgiving heart
 
Friendship?
 
It is as elusive of a concept as art
 
At the end of the day
 
We are just a war like race
 
Drawing lines and burning bridges
 
 
 
 
 
Expect no quarter or leniency
 
Especially from family
 
Should you fail to meet my expectations?
 
I will withdraw my warmth with a forceful vacuum
 
Leave your little cold blue body
 
At the other side of a judgmental stare
 
 
 
 
 
I feel you are beneath me now
 
I want you to know
 
So I cut you up with my eyes
 
And condescending smirk
 
Put down your reaching arms
 
There will be no pleasantries
 
There will be no shelter in this embrace
 
 
 
Love is an equally elusive concept
 
Watch it fade
 
The light from a drowning sun
