I BREAK THEM

10:54pmJack

your mother loves me
she would totally let you go

10:58pmMike
she has never met you
probably thinks you are a trouble maker
who would rob the shoes off of my feet if given the chance

10:59pmJack
I think I may have actually met her once when she was helping you move stuff in?
regardless she knows OF me

10:59pmMike

how do you know I ever say anything about you
I could suppress info

11:00pmJack
my parents ask me questions about you sometimes

11:00pmMike

Untitled

Was it love
in Romeo and Juliet
when he made a toast to the afterlife
and she penetrated her heart,
finally bringing them together
in a crimson wedding

Was it love
when Achilles fell to his knees
to longingly cradle the lifeless form
of Patroclus.
To swear revenge against the
shining helm of Hector

Was it love
or
Was it violence
