Ten Minutes After I Loved You
You seemed to be the perfect stranger.
You didn’t have candy
And didn’t ask me to your car.
Eased information into conversations
Never leaving any room for question marks.
Only exclamation points.
So when the doorbell rang
And you asked to come inside
I couldn’t tell you no.
I watched you kill
I guess I was too trusting. Too lusting
For a new life,
But maybe when you’re looking for a new beginning
You simply start your past again.
The small parts of me I hated as
You sat down on the small blue couch.
It was the only thing left from my past life.
I hated it until you sat down.
I realized I loved you…
The way you took fragments of my old memories
And turned them new,
Sat on them,
Buried them.
You motioned with your fingers
“Sit down,” you said.
I sat down
And you destroyed all the life in me
I guess I was too trusting. Too lusting
For a new life,
But maybe when you’re looking for a new beginning
You simply start your past again.
That I had always wanted to get rid of.
You took it away.
You told me I’d be yours forever.
That I would never get away.
That I was getting what I deserved.
What did you mean?
I hated you then.
I wanted you to leave.
You wouldn’t leave.
I screamed at you.
I said I hated you
Just ten minutes after I loved you.
