I Wish We Never Met

I never knew those supple eyes 
had a maelstrom of unkind desires
hidden in their peeps and tweets 

I never knew your embraces
have such cruelest spites
the most unkind in the divinely design

The lips are no source of life either, 
They birthed venoms spit death threats
conceived in the darkest shadow
 
In our search for pleasure 
I never knew it will be a consort of pain
that erupts agonies even in my slumber

they say living fire can beget cold impotent ashes
you’ve become yesterday's hot fire 
that begot today's cold ashes

and I wish we never met
