Image for the poem He

He'll Do the Things He Must

Acquainted with dark,  
he has ended lives  
and closed opened doors.
 
For service to  
his God and country,
he now fights private wars.  
 
You, dear one,  
though you love him so,  
to him, you’re merely prey.  
 
Be careful  
of his demon side
her strong and willing sway.  
 
That moment  
when he presses in  
you cling to newfound love.
 
He’s mending
all his hurt and loss
with each aggressive shove.
 
Your shining smile  
and beating heart  
bring forth his wells of lust.
 
Within him  
evil spirits dwell
He’ll do the things he must.
