Chewed

Tear me from a love-
I hate you for it!
We were separated,
when push came to shove.

Prior to your fall,
he and I were together.
We lay in each other's arms,
oblivious to it all.

Around the time we got together,
you had found the lump.
It was there in your breast.
Did you seek treatment?Never!

We were happy for the first time
in our dreary little lives.
Then we were pulled apart by you
and correspondence became a crime.

Keep me from my lover-
I hate you for it!
We were trying to stay in touch
and you couldn't put it all together.

From the start of our
relationship, you were always a hindrance.
Your actions, your choices
made us both sour.

I cradled him in my arms
as he ranted about you.
I pulled him from fatal depths
when his actions could have brought him harm.

Just before I plunged into my own strife,
I had found him to be a
good friend; yet unnoticed by me,
I had saved his life.

To me, you are everything.
I've done all I can
to stay true to you, but
you give me nothing.

I feel you all around me:
skin against skin, your heat warming
my body, making me feel
as content as could be.

You delivered a touch
like nothing I'd known,
and in return, I'd
never ask for much.

Too bad I can't be with you
because of your family.
To join that slacking lineage
is something I won't do.

All you betrayers
chewed on me, and
slashed my heart like
cold-blooded slayers.

I need not be part of this
callous family name,
since the members bring more trouble
than could ever bring bliss.

I rescued your boy, your son
from a painful situation, but
since I won't be thanked for it,
goodbye; the day is done.
