Cuts Both Ways
never did she
factor this
only saw the steps
away …
no presence did
she feel
as if nobody
hurt but her
and there were times
aplenty
that should have
made it plain
how different
we would see
the same
and maybe I’m
to blame
but some things remain
… unchanged
those things
that change us all
in a matter of a second
a minute more
regardless of when
questioned my resolve
so distance called
a way to bear
the inevitable
loss for loss
the scale
which weighs less
a shield
or a sword
