Knowing better than to mettle
I launched a grand attack
It was inevitable
true feelings I did lack

not genuflecting
just reflecting
how we started

a talisman approach
beyond reproach
twine of hearts
so pure

launched in ways
astounding displays
of love
so sure
secure

astounding me
with sights unseen
how could I know
he would go
leave my heart
to bleed?
