Your heart was ground zero -

The site of the first detonation.

My heart, was fully armored.

Before the strike, you were with me...

And I was with you -

But not. A Benedict.

I - destroyed you.

Obliterated your faith in this soldier.

Sent your accepting love AWOL.

Then

My heart was ground zero -

The site of the second detonation.

Your heart was fully armored.

I discovered love within me, for you.

Unconceivable, Uncontrollable, Undeniable.

Attack or retreat? Catch -22?

I used all my ammo.

Every last battalion.

But, sentenced to Alcatraz, I was defeated.

The first heart I broke. The first one I loved.
