We intersected along the line
Between love and hate.
You were so obtuse
But your words were pointed-
Sharp-edged and ruthless.
You cornered me every time
Your ridicule angled towards me
Inclined to make me feel worthless.
Your personalities shifted-
Never equilateral- a different one
Emerged when we were alone.
Now I understood why you treated
Me like you did in company-
To conceal your density.
