No Hesitation*

The wound was too much, this time.

And my fear that you’d succeeded was so great 
that it filled the room with its 
terrifying potential.

So in the chaos, in the half-light and the 
bandage wrappings and the cold;
I hadn’t realised, at first.

But you’d meant it, when you’d told me you were lost.
And when you’d laughed, and had sworn 
that you would make me angry

if it were the last thing you did.
