Analysis of Rubles Love Rubble
Pried out of a distance procured
Why do you devour a land not yours?
To consume it,
Break it apart, spit it out
For this be told to your brothers and sisters
This is the way you want them to feel loved
“I want you,
I need you,
You were always mine.”
Those land mines, hmmm…
They cannot leave your arms fast enough
Before they break their lives, their homes
The things you want to call your own
No one looks back and remembers you fondly
No one leaves believing
That you’ll leave the place
Better than you found it
And the lies we tell on all sides
That this is love
There is a better definition
And it’s not because we are hurting
Watching you hurting
No, this has only just begun
