Felix Culpa

I wonder if you were good,
Too good for me.
You love scattered with the morning breeze, 
But I wonder if you were good.

I wonder if I was blind,
Blind to your selfish deeds.
You painted your desires on my lips,
But I wonder if I was blind.

I wonder if you cared,
Cared so hard you cried.
Your tears felt dry to my touch,
But I wonder if you cared.

I wonder if your hate was fortunate,
I’m fortunate to know true loathing.
Your words carved canyons in my skin,
But I wonder if your hate was fortunate.

I wonder if you were good,
Good enough to be a lesson.
You showed me love-stained fury.
Still,
I wonder if you were good.
