not only had i loved you

i adored you,

i

    adored

                    you.



but even as i adored you,

you still came toward me,

with a glistening sword,

inbetween, what i thought

to be your precious fingers,

and stabbed my heart, as if

as if it were a piece of cardboard,

you ripped it apart, you ripped me

apart and yet,

i

still

adored

you,

darling, how i adored you.
