How do you tell someone special that you're not in love with them?
I killed a man today.
He wanted me,
         I walked away.


                             I saw his eyes turn grey.
                   The tear on his cheek
that needed

                                                  pleaded

                                        begged

                                                 me to stay.


I killed a man today.
He needed me,
         I walked away.


                             I thought I heard him pray.
                   That he had understood.

What good?

It broke my heart.
There was no reason I could say;


except



I DID NOT LOVE HIM.
