Alphonse

Young, he said

in his own meaningless

tone that provoked

and if he could

he would have blinked with

surprise.

Stranger, he said

far too quick for comfort

but to believe it

for them, was easy

so the cold was felt

alone.

Empty, he said

and the steps were soon taken

away from the pair

as if lack of spirit

came along with him; or

death.

Fake, he said

in a voice that was full

of horror and pain

but the shame filled it later

and they laughed about his

fear.

Love, he said

but it was difficult

no matter how much

effort was made; because

of course, he was completely

different.

Life, he said

and there was absolutely no

reason why not

but it sometimes became

awfully easy for him to

forget.

Hate, he said

as he ran down the hall

after their differences

clashed yet again

in a colourful storm of

conflict.

Regret, he said

as he left him alone

cursing the fate

that kept them together

and cost him so much?

Never.
