run, boy, run

Linda M. Crate

you better run
have had enough
of being the
bigger person
will shatter you down
to your core
with my sword
my weapon of choice has
always been my heart and my tongue
the agent of destruction,
and i’m done simply
turning the other
cheek;
you hurt me in ways no man ever has
before and took from me things
no other man will ever be
able to—
married the woman you cheated with me
on,
and i can’t make sense of these tea leaves
the readings seem so
unclear;
maybe ask your woman
i heard that she’s a wicked witch
she might know
what this all
means—
next time i won’t bless you with silence
you will feel the thorns of these rosebud lips
will never surrender my soul to a devil
like you
will only expose you for the fraud
you are
so you better run boy and never stop
because when i find you
you’ll be fodder for the forest animals.
