Allowance To the Rival
I recall desiring dismal disaster
As tension tightened and negative neurons swarmed like hornets
Over honey not made by them
But by the very enemy
I do not believe my rival became what it was
Till I allowed him in
Willingly, and wittingly
Feeling foreign claws clamp around me
Scratching my untouched skin
To feel what it was like absorbed in that knowing grin
I had not thought it over how it would actually end…
Until it began
