psalm for heartbreakers

discard discord
into splintered order, perfect chaos
oh i don't even know what your tumbling words mean
why do you insist on speaking
are you so incapable of feeling silence
can you not hear the quiet
no
in the same way that you cannot
understand why the ones you leave behind have broken hearts
you move like a song
and you make them love you while adamant that you are unloved
then you grow tired of their need
without realising it
you move on searching for meaning
and leave them junkies without drugs
without any hope for what sustains them they waste away and
you don't care
you don't even notice
because that is who you are, my dear
killer!
murderer!
and still i am no better than the rest.
