The Beast

I think
my generation is confused

they treat love
and sex
like they're the same thing

sex can be fun
a jump to the left
a step to the right
kiss and fuck and fight
make sure you play your cards right
a game anyone can play

but love
is not a game
hearts are not toys
men are not marionettes
girls are not dolls
love is a beast one must respect

it can rip your heart out through your throat
or it can be your fearsome protector

it's all in your attitude,
it doesn't like to be used

and trust me when I say
I don't care who you think you are
you cannot out maneuver the beast
