Patience can be a cancer,
sometimes persistence is the cure.
Invest a thousand wishes,
in a blink science or intuition can shed
light on hope's futility,
point the way to true promise
if only through an enduring
process of elimination.
You disappoint me.
I felt you trace the blade down my back,
foolishly thinking you were only
testing the strength of my spine
then I felt the cold metal break the sea
of warm behind trusting skin
and you had me watch as you laughed maniacally,
playing with my blood.
I was blinded by your light
to the dark chard it obscured.
Safe to say I'll be more cautious now.
You'd be wise to do the same.
