Considering how we met

How can trust be something you claim

Given how we met

Two sneaky little cheats who

left our better halves bereft

Can fire be contained

it is in its nature to spread

only ashes will remain

of these crumpled up sheets

and of this battle-stained bed

of each new homestead

it is in my nature to hurt and burn

let these scars be a lesson learnt

how was it that you expected anything else of me

considering how we met.
