Thoughtlessness

Art Credit: "Archer" by ameeeeba

  An arrow
  That's what you are.

  My steeled defense
  Then you made a crack
  A crack small enough that only you were in
  The point of pressure small enough
  That only you that could be seen.

  I've always hated you for it
  For making that crack
  For opening my deaf ears
  For enlightening my blind eyes
  Showing me a world so cruel
  Where only you were not.

  Could you have been a saviour
  Maybe in another world
  When I am also another in the pool
  Your existence gave me a swirl
  My pool became a stormy ocean
  So you became the wayfarer I need to remove
    - I did.

  The crack didn't leave with you
  Your thoughtless arrow gave room
  To more worldly miseries
  My old self couldn't be summoned
  I was changed.

  So were you
  Shooting another's defense.
