I suppose shame did drown my
"Christian" moniker
with the "bitterness" of what was to follow
But let’s be honest, harmony was
broken before his pledge,
when he turned his back to my tears
Are we pretending, now
that avoidance means "peaceful"
Or that a "prosperous garden" grows
from the whispered hostility of isolation?
No? Then hope remains
And candor spits and simmers
where a flame still flickers to get its breath
It's settled, then
We are playing the long game
because we are "victory people"

Me: Christian Bitter. Him: Peaceful Pledge. Apparently, our sir name means "Victory People".
