You speak of love but I ask, do you understand the word's meaning?
You say, "you can't be 'what we are' without an emotional bond" and I believed, yet how easily that connection severed.

You speak in generalities, always talking, yet saying nothing. And I look back and feel I played my role handsomely - the lamb ever trusting as she is led to the end.

Your final communication - a slice to the throat - and my love, my live, leaks onto your shoes. And as you turn, the trail weakens
                                                                with
                                                                        each
                                                                             step
                                                                                  until there is nothing,
                                                                                                      and I in a heap.
