Poison
I bit you
and drew blood
one I would rather
die than EVER hurt
and yet there it is
the poison of distrust
the multi millennia of Eves
whose self deceit destroyed
the man they loved
the decades of abuse
violence , rape , neglect
and homelessness have taken their toll
not a pound of flesh
but of heart
and left the sting
of scorpions desert under the tongue
like a razor to flay
the skin of your soul
oh foul being
that slips so easily
into a pattern thought destroyed
the good that I would I do not do
and the evil that I eschew
is what is displayed
oh ruinous and fell creature
in whose sight I cannot
forgive My self
I did not show you mercy
and I see none for me
whose self control has
slipped so easily upon old ice
no apology I can
conceive will retrieve
the damage done
or the sum of what I see
detractable in myself
stupidity has mounted reason
and whipped her senseless
