Duality [Poetry]

    The dual blade of love and hate
    Vibrates in my sweaty palm
    I teeter between fear and disgust
    My ego displaying the weakness
    I sought to hide from her

    The chink in my armour—pride
    A subtle snake slithering around my heart
    Convinces me to let her go
    Cruel words birth a flinch of pain
    Across her beautiful face, an unforgettable memory

    She deserves better and that's not me
    She comes up with reasons to stay
    To heal the searing pain in my soul
    But her precious affection must not be wasted
    On a blighted being such as I

    Her pretty face crumples in tears
    My departure piercing me deep within
    Thoughts of an empty house without her hits me
    Like a sharp blade to my guts
    Twisting to the core to end my existence

    Should I hasten after her
    Sniping the thick threads around my heart
    And fixing this chink in my armour?
    Would I dare to accept her forgiveness
    And spend the rest of my life in the spring of her love?
