Recompense

A poem on failed love

Why must I love a cruel man
A man who would pillage and destroy
Over tending wounds?
He will fight until his life blood stops
But refused to listen to me when I bruised him
And now the man in anger fights a war
When all I tried to do was pick body pieces up off bloody floors
Cruel man
Don't you know I love you?
That I would never try to hurt you?
I know I've done so now,
But accidents are mistakes
And rather then murder what we have
For the small threat it posed
Please
Let me fix it
I will heal it all
But I cannot do so while you siege my walls
And you only keep changing the stakes
Of this battle you've decided to call
"Recompense"
