Volenti Non Fit Injuria

did you not let me enter
your door when i simply pass by
looking for my
destiny, did you not call my name
when i was thinking of someone else
that one so beautiful and yet
did so much harm
to my heart
and then you kiss me when i was drunk
with pain
promising to heal my wounds
and then after so many years
when i was awakened from such stupor
i took the courage of telling you
there was never a pint
of love
never, never, never and then you ran away
and jumped into the raging river

shall i be then be made responsible for such
a true loveless locomotion?
