The Afternoon after the Vein is Shown

There is no one here
             but me
     To be a monster
                       for love

I can't undo
             or justify
     What it made
                      me do.

They say it's blind,
             always right,
     Beyond forgiveness, 
                      conditions ...

Yet here we are;
             to love is human. 
     To make love is to make
                      mistakes

In how you treat 
             another person—
     That mirror never worked
                      and never will.

Still I persist in my insanity,
              my pretending 
     That insanity
                      is wrong.
