In Memoriam

you taught me the meaning of hatred

detestable, loathing; scorn

When I thought I knew how to curse a name

oh, how I was wrong

my blood boiled for one cause

and the talons of my heart will eat you up

and spit you out

if only I could forget

the first time I said hello

I was a fool to take comfort

in your voice.

you taught me about betrayal

about

crying so hard, I couldn’t breathe

come see, the flowers are bleeding red

in memory of

the soul I once had
