The following is a poem about a karmic relationship.
Some people have many relationships, and they learn all they know about love through being with many.
Others have one really intricate relationship in which they learn all they know about love.
The relationship I reflect upon is the second type of relationship. Sometimes we learn the most about what love is, by learning what it is not.

Sheep by day,
Wolf by night.
He saw my dark
He was my light
Like a moth, I seek his sight
And hope that love, is worth the fight
The chaos
The tears
The empty mirrors
Sheep by day
Wolf by night
Pluck my wings off, one by one
Did I give the sheep enough?
Did I give the sheep enough?
Taking my mind, taking my heart
Taking it all
Tearing apart
At the end of the day, I am but a moth
To you I will fade and soon become soft
Like the dust itself, it gathers like memories
Of the corner of a house that’s been crumbling for centuries
And you knew it, you knew it, you knew all along
That the heart that was true was to you just a song
In the mind of a twisted oxytocin high
Was I ever human, or am I
just a lie?
You never answer me, so I’m left to rhyme
In hopes that the words will like hands intertwine
Grasping the orphan that lives in my mind
Screaming, crying, looking behind
Before you left her on her own
Before you hurt, no sticks and no stones
Before the light began to fade
No wind to ignite the ember that stayed
As everything burnt to a crisp I was shown
The sheep, once my friend
Now a wolf
Alone
