Pierce
Like a knife through
The center of an apple
You have pierced
The very core
Of this heart you swore
To cherish and hold
Tell me if you will
Why was your thrust
So devastatingly bold?
The center of an apple
You have pierced
The very core
Of this heart you swore
To cherish and hold
Tell me if you will
Why was your thrust
So devastatingly bold?

Killer! I love this declaration that slices write through the page.
The image is perfection. Pierce is a great word.

I suppose his reply would be a bitter one filled with vile anger. Perhaps familiarity breeds contempt. Perhaps people become unhappy with themselves and take it out on others, or their narcissism prevents them from seeing others as equals. Many questions, huh.
Good one, Faith.

Reminded me of the line from Shakespeare's play "Julius Caesar" _ "Et tu brute".
Your poem calls out the malice of the betrayer.
