Poem by Joey Oliver
“I love you regardless”
You say
But do you not see these claws?
Not meant to hold sleeping kittens but to take your heart out clean from your body.
“I love you regardless”

“I love you regardless”
You say
But do you not see these horns?
Not meant to place flowers on but as extra measure to protect my own heart
“I love you”
I say
