i have loved
like a knife
hidden behind a back
covered with the mist of trust
a knife squeezed in a hand
a knife
and the face with a grimace of
thoughtless
vengeance
i love
like a knife
the cold sharp steel
touched the red-hot heart
with no shadow of doubt
extinguished the fire
selfishly
mercilessly
cut through the mist
faith love and hope had vanished
like they never existed
