all my hate
i regretted the words
the instant they fell from my lips-
that moment before you heard
such hate filled prose,
i pled for the hope
that maybe you hadn't understood me.
your eyes darkened, your lips opened to speak
but only silence emerged.
you listened to my stunted speech
rip apart your fragile heart;
as my teeth tore pieces of your flesh
from the bone.
your eyes changed again, becoming brighter-
your surprise, forgotten for a moment,
turned to anger, sharp as razors
that threatened to slice my chest
and expose my heart.
i was afraid of you and for you and with you
until all the love we once had
was lost amid the torrent
or our hateful words.
