Pride

Darkness defends my soul, and the Gods smile at my ignorance.

My insistence that one day her heart will accept me.

They know the deep scars imbedded in my wrists, the lonely physician's vials scattered upon my altar.

They have witnessed my useless tears, my misdirected anger, my shame.

And know in her iniquity, pride is the most outlying emotion.

Her Sharp and cruel Tallons have repeatedly pierced my heats scarlet flesh.

Again I return weaker, smaller, but hopeful that this reply will be different.

For nothing can change the certitude she will never belong to me.

-Johhny V.
