Hellbound Lovers

I hate to suddenly

   Pry but please do tell,

Why so compelled

    That you're thinking of

Sinking this Heaven to Hell?

I can tell you

  Crave to save disaster,

Mixin' affliction

   And missin' facts,

Nobody's low enough

    To call you master

I laugh, it's amusing,

   That you can't see

That the very

  Questions you're raising

Prove you're

  Desperate for me

Heaven, I scoff,

  As if you could

open that door

     That's why I'm

In the bed and

   You're on the floor

  Yeah, the floor is mine

From corner to corner

  But the border

In between is your

  Pure engineered disorder

The stars used to fall

    And the moon

Used to shine

   But you bring on a

Desolate chaotic design

Can you even

  Conceive of such a plan?

Didn't think so

   Never thought so

You proud little man

    Borders don't matter

When you look at the sky

  If anything's falling

it's my lightning

    Smiting you

        From on high

Look here

  You're not

    Mickey Mouse

And this isn't fantasia

   Save that shit

      For your club house

Don't be simplistic

     And just admit

I'm the lunatic

     All to amaze ya

Can't help but shrug

  That lightning

     Wouldn't even power

A firefly bug

How dare you

    Compare me to a cartoon?

Don't know what it was

About you that first

    Made me swoon

Your mind's in the gutter

    Your speech is still lazy

I hate you

What you're doing

     Is driving me crazy

Love and hate

     Like a fuckin' mixtape

  The bass bumps

     And the rhythm plays

Beat and treble

    To match each level

          Of belligerence

Malevolent yet evident

   Somehow we

       Stay relevant

Fuck that noise

   You never knew me

And I never knew you

   On good days

And bad I think you

   Felt it too

Through this fighting

   And resentment

      I ask

  Will you stay?

Because at this point

   I am lost 

And know

    No other way

I couldn't leave you

    If I tried

Only scenario is a burial

Can't bear to show

   I fear the feels

Concealed inside

How the Hell did

   This hate intrude us

Devil's gotta

   Hand out to crush

Conclude us

We are rebels

      Shit we started

Out as friends 

    Too much time

Invested to be

     Bested and end

We can reignite our flame

     And sever ties to this cold

And having defeated

    Our demons

  Together we'll hold

But as much as

  I love you 

      I can't imagine our forever

Until we shape up

     and make us

something better
