When Love Is Youth
By Ezra Vancil
What deception
Lies he told
steel your youth, he’s drunk
unfold
with bitter
sweet need
animosity
I want to hate
love’s complexity
an adolescent after effect
insecurity, smudged
mystery
I want anger
burn,
growl
but human nature
for death is vowed
to love,
the point
that is our truth
Love is lies
when love is youth
