Abattoir

A darker version of the love sonnet

I was warned

But didn't care

I still went there

So it's all fair

I saw the signs

But took the chance

At your romance

I chose the dance

I knew well

You'd butcher me

But could not see

What else could be

I was warned

But didn't care ...

I was warned over and over again about a love I had...but I jumped headlong into it anyway.

Knew the risk and accepted it...we are still very close friends to this day.

Thanks for the comment. Yeah, love is that way at times. ~Jim
