Dayus

The starkest cold winter of your eyes
Is all I see now.
It's all you ever were
Boring a hole through my heart
Like a drill of icy pleasure
And I took it all
the poison of you

And all the while you were
helpless;
Bound by nature
to take and take and take
Thinking you weren't

I watched you struggle
with intellectual concepts far beyond you
pretending not to see.
It's why I could never love you.
