Putting down
your pretty avarice,
if only for a moment.
Asking you
your real name.
Wincing,
when you reveal yourself.
Not my friend,
but my perfect enemy.
I will bleed for you.
I will lay down everything.
Give my life in your redemption.
Take on every kind of pain.
You know me
better
than my mother.
More intimately
than a lover.
Know my strength
and weakness,
just like a brother;
my perfect enemy.
My blessing in acrimony.

Interesting write Hokus. We can indeed be our on worst enemy when we feel bitterness. Very thought provoking. Have an amazing weekend. ❤️
