He Never Expresses Regret | Bonnie Burka Shannon

The child will never recover
From you
But life goes on
Doesn’t it
Even though
They shoot horses
Don’t they
Life endures
In a manner
That is hard
To label
You have destroyed
What she believed in
You have policed her life
And the lives
Of others
You tell untruths
Fabricate
Deflect
Blame
Retract and restate
You require
Complete allegiance
While most
Never believed
Or were all deceived
You typify a
Borderline Personality
Not so complicated
After all
Just malevolent
Immoral
And self-absorbed
A true narcissist
You have devastated
What she once
Had faith in
You have regulated her vitality
Tarnished her convictions
Unfastened her life
And the lives
Of others
And you never
Express regret
Or shame
