Gauntlet

one mistake
you locked on
to me
like some painted target

followed me
enemy or lovesick fool
to this day
i'm not so sure

more than
a thousand years
have passed
you'd think i'd
completely forgotten
not so

i'd let go
i have
but not forgotten
the sheer pain and bliss
you unbearable sod!
your actions
reprehensible
your words
splintered
my resolve

blood spilt
a shared kiss
i'd kill you again
if i could
over and over
the cycle continues
have you learned?
damn i hope so!

should we cross paths
would we recognize
one another?
probably not
but maybe so
hackles on end

love and hate
so we explored
to the ends of time
the beginnings
of something old
and something new

still remember
blood dilating
over my hands
your blood
a reflection of your blade
my blood

over that shared kiss
that doomed us to share
an eternity
of that bound
pain and pleasure
you gave me no choice

much we have yet
to settle
i am waiting
find me
you always could

again i throw the gauntlet
pick it up if you dare

Author notes

This is something I pulled from deep within me, very impromptu. It is a hard riddle to explain, much less for people to understand. Good luck trying. I'm addressing someone. I hope he finds this. He knows who he is. Whether or not he answers, will be the riddle, I've long wondered.

    I 100% agree with Miraculous, this poem is actually very interesting, it seems to be just made from bitterness and darkness.

    Thank you for entering my contest

    Indeed, this is very interesting. Dark and holds that bitterness too. A lot of emotion and imagery woven into your words. Thanks for entering and good luck.

    the gauntlet...

    Well written! You seek your equal... or is your master you seek?

    Good luck with the contest!

      Thank you! I appreciate your perceptiveness..
      You are close to the mark. Not my master, but an equal, of sorts. As you can tell, there's bad blood there.
