Foiled

Foiled again- it seeps on the floor;

My heart has been broken

It troubles you no more.

 

Twice it called to me today

And-

Twice I resented it’s decay.

 

No more shall I wear this thing upon my sleeve.

Never again the daylight shall it see.

 

Foiled again- I open a door,

To hear my heart crushed by

Words callous and sore.

 

Twice again it hammered on my door

But-

Twice I slammed it into the floor.

 

Never again shall these words, so dear,

Be spoken by yours truly,

“I love you. Beware.”
