BEWARE OF GEEKS BEARING GIFTS

his love a wound
that scabbed over but
never entirely healed

she would year after year
pick at it pick at it
watching it bleed

his love that thing that
"hurts"
so much...a festering...****

his love a great big
Wooden Horse that
she always allowed inside her pity

her love a Troy
destroyed
hope that eternal useless myth
