Civil War

I lost my heart in

that bloody war. The one

I didn't see coming.

The one you started with

a traitor's kiss. The one

you said wasn't possible.

I hung from that tree-

limb in disbelief as

you watched with your

picnic basket and new love.

I closed my eyes, anxiously

awaiting my release from

this dirty, rotten

blasphemous world.
