Punishment is interesting.
Who gets to punish? You, or the fates?
“Getting what you deserve” fascinates.
Love is when we say, “you deserve me,”
And then we put our lover through hell,
Because we know nothing will ever go well,
And punishment happens every day;
Is that what life is? Punishment?
The worst kind is when, without a word, the one you love goes away.
The best kind? Kissing, and then, too, there’s nothing you need to say.
Punishment is love when punishment involves two.
Death is the great ignore. Death is goodbye I don’t care about you.
Don’t die. Punish me every day. Be silent and strange.
But suffer where I can see you. Stay in range.
