Christopher says
you're a fool to think I loved you
here, let me tell you the truth
I played your lover to protect the world from you
I knew you were the worst of us
I had to keep them safe.

Christopher says
look at yourself
I sacrificed myself to stop you
and it wasn't enough
you just wanted more of my love.

Christopher says
now I don't need you
won't heed you
a fool in braggart's clothing
what do you know of love
you only know loathing.

you say
why not just kill me
If I am that bad

Christopher takes your hand and says
you poor fool
I have.

(someone was black and white and wrong about a book and since I don't discuss things with strangers any more i wrote a cross poem instead)

I read this poem!
It has caused an emotion.

It has made me: sad.

It's beautiful and I like it.
