Counterpoint

How many times…
Have I consoled the victims?
Always baffled by their willingness
To endure such tyranny…
But there for them…
As best as I can be.

But now…
You got me.
How ironic.
Now it’s me…
Staring at the bite mark
In the mirror…
No matter how bad it gets…
Needing that connection to you.
It is just too perfect.
Your revenge…
Because it happened to you.
There is no one here for me
At this sad juncture-
But how can that matter-
When I have this glorious wound…
Making me weaker by the hour…
Faster than I can send you thank you notes?
Oh I've’ve got one thing over you.
Just one small thing…
But it matters to me.
I…will not bite.

John H. Bidwell

Very well expressed at a higher level than most with a moral in the end that strikes home.

I must agree with Regis on this one. Now I have quite a few hypotheses on this. Thank you for the think jerk!

Love ya!
