Weeping shards of bacteria hearts
You were my king of hearts
And I traded you in
The flush I received had nothing to do with poker
But poke my heart you did
You nudged the slumbering beast and upon the moment of its awakening
It became human
Humanity made it corrode that which it loved
I saw the rust weighing down your easy smile
And my eyes wept
But the beast sang out a tune of fierce nothing
I learned from you all things and nothings
Except I love you
