a one hundred and twenty fifth poem...'arrow'

If I told you
How much I adore
You, would you
Shrug it off? Cough up
Blood? Or rip my
Heart from my chest
And throw it in
The mud
Down the
Dirty old river? Where
Once upon a time
I held you close and
You quivered
With something
Approaching love,
Along the narrow,
Your dark head buried
In my beating breast,
Breached by an arrow.
