Adversaries

by michael-pick

Two adversaries, exactly the same Both I let in Inside my house Disguised as friends The first bid their time, sat inside They stole the china The photos My keepsakes And set fire to the floorboards Before they left The second came along just later Carrying tools and aid We rebuilt my home around me And then we sat inside They smiled each day And shook my hand freely But one night they stole Not a possession But into my home at night And ran their blade across my neck
