The scars you gave me blended into my body. The words you said became small pinpricks in my heart.
When you appeared at my door my rage was gone. I let you in.
Trustingly. After you killed me I left you again. A better world, a better rage.

I was angry before you left, but then forgot you quickly in my new life. Did I love you? When I married two years after I remembered to send you notice. Again I quickly forgot you.
The scars you gave me blended into my body. The words you said became small pinpricks in my heart. When you appeared at my door my rage was gone. I let you in. Trustingly. After you killed me I left you again. A better world, a better rage.
