You loved him even after that
when the thunder came out of his body
and met you at the skin
You opened up like a shotgun
feeding the wounds with words
that never met the mirror
never came out clearer.
You loved him even after that
when the rage spilled over the rim of his cup
dousing his tongue
with the pain of you
the bitterness grew
Even after
ever after
When the nights made you hungry
and he kept you pinned under
all his lonely
You loved him even after that
You kept the scar
and swallowed the tar of his affection
opened up like a lobotomy
Even after
ever after
When he buried you
in words soaked in toxins
left you with a virus
he picked up from a married woman
You saw him even after that
even after that
never after all
never after that.
