Becoming a sunset

I wanted her to be a queen
but its hard

Under so much florescent,
so much neon
You lose grip, lose your children, lose yourself

She lashed out at me
took out my eye
Blood ran down my cheek and she wiped it away
with a drink napkin
She apologized, but

She wanted to keep my eye, said nobody ever really looked at her before
I told I had another eye
I would live
I would get a patch
become a pirate
sail into sunsets, endlessly

But, I told her I felt weak
from the scratches she left on my cheek
some of her poison must have gotten into me

She told me shed suck it out, but I said
no, I want you to be a queen
stay away from the suck
ing
no, more
fuck
ing
no, more giving yourself away

Decide to be, unstoppable, I said
yet,
loveable and unleavable
Be, the most
able
queen there has ever been

Find yourself a suitable king
one who is strong, smart and caring
and bring forth a beautiful child

Bless the world with your beauty

Ill be there, watching
with the rest of the world
Disappearing into a sunset each night
