You are the wind in my hair,
The breaze on my back,
But the knife in my back.
I will follow you
To the end of the world.
But you will only lead me
To my grave.
My clothes, my comfort, my everything,
It is yours.
But your gratitude is poison;
As is my blind love.

© Edgard B., Coral Springs, FL

The author's comments:
I wrote this with no particular thing in mind. I wrote it thinking of anything and everything that someone could love but is potentially dangerous for them.
