At first, I thought you showed kindness
asking questions that cared
At first, I thought you didn’t know what to say
The first sign to the contrary was your smirking
as I shared my thoughts
Your body language repertoire held hands with
your insensitive wit
As my suffering intensified, I withdrew from your
probing questions
since your needle and scalpel had been deftly
applied to my wounds
So I see that mind games and psychology are
the tools of your trade
So that a woman you knew left this world
bearing your fingerprints
Would I be the next on a slab, by my own hand?
But instead, you’re gone for good - I hope
