 strange   lights   neon   sinner 

How do you gasp into 

A stranger city and

Call it

Home?


Neon lights, hostile hearts, studio

Apartments and 

Smudged skylines- what

Shelves do you decorate with

These?


In that stunted 

Backyard, how do you 

Cultivate love?


You steal 

Hunting arrows from

A gypsy- is that 

How you

Chase your pangs?


You ask me 

How does trouble

Look like while I rebel

Against my 

Gods.


Why do you protest 

When they

Call you 

A sinner?


Because your sins are 

Different

Than theirs?

You were never a 

Cosmic mistake- we just 

Come from different Hells.


You choke me with the thorn 

Vine that grows In your

Flower pot.


I should know that you 

Cannot be my 

Holy grail.

But what do we ever learn?
