turn the other cheek

A lone wolf in black sheep’s clothing

Sadly, even the ‘King of Pop’ has to stop
Living some day

I’ll make you mine again, trust me

One day we will get naked
Then

Dive inside a road map, swimming
Until the page turns blue

At the ocean’s edge

I’ll kiss you as the wind licks your chest

And we attempt to guess whether it is
A shooting star or a jet

Yet decide to make a wish
Regardless

Of what life is like now, it’s all gonna
Change for the better soon, somehow

But right now I’m still this infamous
Reckless Recluse with not much
To do but try to touch

All the love I’ve lost inside
This sickly body of mine

And try to find that light that never
Ceases to shine; at the moment
I just can’t locate it-

We didn’t have kids

So we separated

There was no use in staying together
No need to brave the storm’s
Weather, so we just didn’t-

And all the American flags hung themselves
As trumpet’s blast ‘Taps’ in the distance,
In the background

I think I thought I heard a sound
Like your new boyfriend laughing
At me

The sound resounds down the streets,
And up the chimneys

Echoing against buildings

Until his high shrieked giggling
Comes bouncing back

To give me a smack just as

I turn the other cheek
