In meeting you
I never thought I'd have you.
You were too fragile,
Too kind,
And I too rushed,
Too complicated
To be anything but destructive.
But just like the seasons,
We changed.
Your summers turned to frost bitten winters
And my ice cold heart began to Dethaw,
I learned there are more to people than bullets,
You were taught how to reload a gun.
And in the process of our evolution,
I began to be hurt by the very prosecution
That started this whole process in the first place,
And you, my love,
Began to stop your heart from beating quickly
At every beautiful flower that swayed your way.
