NOT SO SURE

loved you
from the first moment

that I ssw you
all
those years
ago

have loved you
almost all
my lifetime

a creature of
astounding beauty
and humanity

loved you
constantly, to
the point
of insanity

but
a cleavage came
a massive
fault line

sides were chosen
genocide the darkest
of dark
paths taken

thought that I would
have to just love you
unrequited forever

but the heart
grows bitter as
the world suffers
my Magdalen girl
(so
once you were)

and
now

I am not
so sure

am totally
not so sure
