i’m sorry that
i haven’t been
around in a while,

but i don’t want
to get any blood
on your floor

and i’m not bitter
or anything
like that,

i could tell by
the way you
catch the light
and trap it
in your fingertips

that there would
have to be a few
casualties along
the way;

you are a
calculated risk
with a touch
of Armageddon
