diversion

Long, long days.
Dark, dark nights,

as you torch our home
and ask me to stand here burning.

I feel only love.
I offer only my tears.

You were clearing the ground,
all along,
of us,
for another.

I gave you the tinder, and fuel.
But I was asleep and blamed you for the cold and suddenly it was on fire.
