Looking for Love

When I saw you
with my sister
  my heart froze
  I ran

But you followed
begging to come home-- 
sought me--
        this woman you wronged
         the woman humiliated
         the woman shamed
by your flagrant dalliance
       the last of many--
You faced the wrong direction
        your compass spun
         your North was lost.

When you sought
Forgiveness 
Feminine and charitable
Forgiveness laced with softness of a feather
And the flick
Of a fragile wrist
Madness had crept into your blood.

Seeking my forgiveness
was the seeking
of my sharpened friend
Seeking in my direction
You found
The bloody taste
Of my last kiss.

No woman has ever
Killed her 
Lover
So tenderly
and so well.
