little love bomb

five days ago
bombs dropped in Europe
while I played
in the summer sun
and now
everyone goes about their days
as normal

hopping on Zooms
posting stories just
to prove
how happy we are
meanwhile
someone rich
is getting richer
from the War we watch on the news

all hail king dollar
I’m a robot too

the funny thing is
two years ago
the world shut down
as people died
from an unknown disease
but now
here we are again
as people die
from the proverbial disease
of man
and their power anew

it’s not funny anymore

people hide in bunkers
while I walk in the sun
I know that I know nothing
Socrates

everyone is so self righteous
these days
and everyone has something to say
but
I’m so tired of this shit

and so it returns
I’ll take a spoonful of honey with my anxiety today
deep breaths now
I hate it when the sun sets
and the darkness settles in
I turn on my night light
sage and lavender
I close my eyes
I count to ten

there’s no monster in the bed
the monster’s in your head
1234
there’s no monster in the bed
the monster’s in your head
5678
there’s no monster in the bed
the monster’s in your head
910
Fuck

somewhere inside me
I still believe in Love
at least I think I do
because I believe in you
at least I think I do
abandonment wounds
are part of the war too

stop thinking
start feeling
salute to the soldiers of love
when the panic sets in
when the emotions hijack
when you fear to trust
when you want to give up
when you no longer believe
when you want to explode
oh you little love bomb

I hope you:
find the courage
to choose sweeter thoughts
I hope you:
find the courage
to still choose Love
instead
