FALLING OUT

Fall out of love
with things that are harmful to you
with those that harm you
regardless of
tricks played upon you
which make you forget
you
are
better
than
that

Fall out of love
with the things that caress you
as they slyly undress you
and clothe you
in a disguise
of lies

Despise
the fact
that you are no longer intact
because
you
have mistaken
love
with
forsaken

Beaten down
and turned around
and spun
into a skein
that no longer recognizes itself
and is there for others
to weave through
thread bare.

Liars lie...
it is what they do
and it happened to you.
It seems harder to say
that you were led astray
than the simple art
of being true
to yourself

But you do
have
your
You
somewhere
in there
and it knows
that you
are
better
than
that.

Fall out of love
with the things
that betray you
the things that may slay you
with forked tongue
and soft touch

The things that adore you
will never
whore you
abhor you
ignore you
gore you
war you
core you
or ask more
of you
than anyone
should
ever
allow

Pay attention
To what
came before you
because liars
have
a
way
of
repeating
themselves.

Fall out of love
with anything but real love
with no strings attached
and no history latched
to
anything
but
kindness.

And if
you
were
fooled
know the answer
to the call out
is that
you
can
endure
the fall out

it
just
takes
time.
