She is Karma

There you are karma.

I see you hiding, 

Behind those green eyes.

We both know her name, though

No name changes the upheaval

You left in your wake 

As you passed through my placid harbor,

While I was blinded by love

Like a night with no moon.

How can one person be the embodiment 

Of every painful lesson up to now?

Reminding me, of all the people

That traipsed their muddy boots

Across the immaculate corridors of my trust

Wielded machetes called “Love”

Through the chambers of my bleeding heart.

I feel her there

Picking at the edges of my scars

And as they weep

The poisons seep into my bloodstream.

Lessons long forgotten, but

How surprisingly familiar this pain tastes.

Of course it would be her you chose 

As the Pandora to my box of demons. 

Karma, you know me so well.

To come to me in a form I could never refuse

Because, oh, what I wouldn’t do

For Love.

I understand now.

I had to love her this much

To learn the lessons you sought to teach.
