ache

it niggles at me constantly

sometimes great sometimes small

how oh how did I get it so wrong

that anyone could stoop so low

so to threaten their own

to derive failure over another.

yet will you ever be satisfied

never says I

the hunger and thirst to get even

compels your very existence

at the detriment of all others

and then you wonder where the love went

I watch from afar trapped

my very blood waning while I remain

a helpless now hapless soul

confirmed in your very actions

the type of person you truly are

I know then my steps were correct

he may perish and never again will I see him

penalised by deception and greed

wronged by hatred left so long gone

I ache for you cause I was so wrong

were you not a good person at one time

where did that person go?
