An Eternal Bad Boy Of Contention

-An Eternal Bad Boy Of Contention-
by Keaton Foster


Roses
Are red
Hatred
Is not dead
To wish
Upon you
Death
More tragic
The better
You did
What you did
And I lived
Right on through
God did it hurt
Love is forever
But what’s greater
Hate is unending
And I
An eternal
Bad boy
Of contention
Cannot forget
I won’t forgive
I survived it
At least for now
You survived it
As well
Up until this
Here I am
There you are
Present location
Stifling darkness
In the depths
Of a forgotten wilderness
No one comes here
No one knows here
It’s just you and me
It just us and these trees
Around your neck
My hands
Throttled
In your eyes
Pain and fear
Over what if
Your face
Burdened red
All breath
Contained
Suffocating
While inflated
A hell of a thing
When I’m done
I’ll bury you deep
So far down
Impossible will be
Any and all sound
They’ll never find
They’ll always look
I won’t tell
I won’t confess
I’ll just sit back
And think of this
Of us
And our broken love
An eternal
Bad boy
Of contention
Concern
This a misdirection
Genuine I’ll pretend
They’ll catch on
But I understand
That there is
A million miles
Between being suspected
And convicted of a crime
Our love did not end
As well as it should
Your precious life
The same
You alone forced me
In such a way
It was a mistake
I warned you
When you left
Such a thing as us
Would be
Without a question
Inescapable…
