money

The musical quality 
of your sweet voice
is like the sound of
Daisy Buchanan’s money
conveying your heart in my
general direction but
not meant for my loving ears
still ringing with 
the false sound of the love
you do not have

Your brutal intentions
are bullish in the china shop 
of my heart
breaking everything in their wake

You only offer a few
“I love you”s as payment
for the damages
to a heart that can 
be repaired, but
never restored
