My Main Objective And Priority

Do I wish you to suffer,
Like I have witnessed it to experience?
No, of course not.
I do not harbor those evil wishes.
I would not want that for anyone to endure.

However,
I will say this...
Some people are able to heal from afflictions,
Quicker with determination than others.
Some are skilled with a delivery of afflictions to give.

'So you do want me to suffer, don't you?
You want me to repent my misdeeds,
And the agony I have cost you.
Don't you? '

I did not say that.
You have misinterpreted my comments.
The kind of love I have to share is rare.

'Would you come to my aid? '

That depends.
When do you plan on doing your suffering?
I would need a date, location and time.

And,
I regret to admit this...
But since my healing process has been so effective,
I have found the living of my own life...
My main objective and priority.
I'm sure you remember doing that.
Don't you?

'An eye for an eye.
Tooth for tooth.
And wound for wound,
I see it!
I see it coming.
As clear as that smirk on your face.'

Will you stop misinterpreting the love I have for you.
Don't you know...
I want you to fully understand and comprehend,
How I obtained this love.

'You have fangs.
I have never noticed that before.'

I have never been able before,
To smile so broadly.
Only you do I attribute this feeling.
You have no idea from the depths of which it sits.
