Kurt Philip Behm

Dearest Liz ...

I hated your faults

more than I lusted your charms

As life became hell

and a new call to arms

 

I hated the darkness

your beauty can’t hide

With blame the new weapon

 that kills from inside

 

Each movie we made

a celluloid fire

A booze filled disaster

of poisoned desire

 

I married you once

I married you twice

Divorced in the ruins

— your drama enticed
