love me if you dare

a less-than-sincere note to critics
maybe you think you know me
and maybe you do
but if you read this and find
me a little strange
or even frightening,
then i guess you never knew me
welcome to the real world

i trusted you

i trusted you.

crisp, dewy blades
of carpet grass
crunching beneath my
thudding feet.

i trusted you.

morning light on my face,
warm and yellow as
the sunflower
you once gave.

i trusted you.

brisk little breeze
tugging gently at
the pale ribbon
on the package i clutch.

i trusted you.

your shadow falls across my path.

i trusted you.

i fling it at your feet
contemptuously.
your puzzled face
annoys me.

i trusted you.

harsh light spills through
the gaps between my fingers;
a sharp crack
leaves crimson anger on your cheek.

i trusted you.

pearls are for tears.
i snatch the ring off but
the prophesy
has been fulfilled.

i -

loved you.

yours truly
