cost of love

arqios

 

first the shadow

quick and darkening the world

A looming doom

then the sonic boom

punches and words

Strikes and boards

the only batteries dreamed off

for toys and torches

you stayed still

          Expectant

But torture arrives

instead of nurture

learning early the cost of love
