Ex

by Lisbeth Black

cruel?

yes, cruel

but only to you

and all the others who abuse

decry, disgust and misuse,

and all the other forms of torture

sweet at first, until they fester

into resentment

and eventually hate

cruel?

yes, cruel

but never to you

and now you lie

and i do too

when we tell ourselves

that it wasn't me--

it was you

I love the way you reason. I love the way you write. You make it so easy to connect and relate.
