Shunned

I shall not lend an eye
In your direction
Knowing that power
Is what you seek

I shall not speak a word
On former connection
Knowing that relevance
Is your pay

I shall not make a move
Toward reconciliation
Knowing that condescension
Is your game

I shall not offer up a prayer
Toward LOVE
Knowing that treason
Is your heart's intent

...hell bent...on my destruction
