Archetypal archaism of love.

Pondering the archetypal archaism of love.
The dumb meaning, which brings
swollen eyes to young enthusiasts,
is lost to me now. Puke at the thought of its
smooth words and sweet tone.
Oh, fuck off!  You’re just a cheap trick
waiting to pounce at first sight of vulnerability.
An empty hand waiting for its match,
but that’s why God gave us two.
I am the only shoulder I need.
I am no naïve fool, I know
reliability shouldn’t be given to the fickle minded.
Spare me your sweet soliloquies,
for no love letter will turn my tune.
Sharp arrowed is my mind
after the last war was lost.
Lost my heart, my mind and my love.
Not again, not ever.
My empty chest tomb is cold and corroded.
Your words will be wasted on me.
Let me ponder in peace.
