Among all the truths, he told me the one that would have wolves run
He told me of his curse
He told me of his failure
He told me why it failed

Taking a drag of his cigarette
I got bored. he told me
He said he was bored and didn't want to do anything about it.
For a second, my heart beat faster than the normal 72
He sounded heartless, he looked stone-like
I had never seen this side of him

I braced myself for the inevitable
Don't worry, he said
I hope that never happens to us

But that wasn't enough for me.
