For Her


The blood rushed through him

As she spoke of what had happened to her

He loved her so

Composing a plan of what to do

 

BAM!

With a swirl of words

Happening faster than the wind

Her heart sank like the titanic as she watched

 

He hurt the one

The one she had told him of

With one jag

He did it all for her

 

Oh, why?

She begged for an answer

He promised not to make of it anything

It was not what she wanted

 

He cared for her like the gardener cared for his plants

And that she knew

It was all for her

That was the end
