American BullfighterA Poem by H. A. M.A relationship gone bad of course.American Bullfighter I saw you coming And I chose Not to get out of the way. So pretty So fierce so full of angst? A needed distraction you where Yet you showed me nothing new. I act so righteous sometimes I miss a good opportunity at conquest. Yet your persistent. You entice. You goad. You lie. …again… I saw you coming and I chose not to get out of the way. How many swords before you go down? I didn’t have to ask. How many times so you’ll quit asking? How many times so you’ll leave me alone? Once again in the arena. and then something I’m not expecting. You gored me. In comes the second. I wasn’t prepared for that. I wasn’t booed out the arena. I wasn’t carried out. …and then I realized you only wanted what I had. I bled long. I cried but only for effect. You just snorted and waited on the second. I saw you coming and I chose not to get out the way.
