and
to think
all the fear I banked back
solely on your behalf
it could have snowed machete's
that day
and I wouldn't have cared
but laughed
for I was alas one with love
love so completely uncompared
and you were invariably you
so dark
deceiving
and unprepared
you broke my heart
without even a backwards glance
and I think I hated you
for all of four seconds
that was right before
the shock set in for good
bitterness ...There After
only further
clawed at the wound................
