new monster

i called for you
and you didn't come.
it bears
repeating:
i called for you
and you didn't come.

impossible for this to be
a true betrayal,
girl with your red blood mouth
and your hair as dark as a memory.

when we owed each other
nothing

beyond my obsession.
ergo there must be some point stuck

still

deeper than this
and broken off
at the hilt,

lost
to its handle.
