i fell in love with this man once, he was a wonderful man, caring, kind, considerate, we shared our dreams, our hopes, and our futures, or so i thought. he would talk about the beaches and the times we would share talk of the snow and cuddling by a fire but it was not real. it was all an illusion for underneath lay a fire ready to boil over a fire of evil and hate just waiting to be set free suddenly gone was the love the hugs and the kisses replaced with harsh words which cut like a knife he no longer called me sweety and thought my veiws were imporant now i am just another tree hugger as he put it in his prejudice when i said asked how he could hurt me he said he was not that he said it was just honest and when i asked why he never called me things before since he knew how i felt from a long time before he could not answer me he told me he had never lied but that is not true

he told me he cared no one who cared would ever spout words with an edge sharp as a knife he said things to hurt me even after i said they hurt and yet he never stopped to think did he ever really care about me i think he did or i would like to hope he did something changed him an evil from deep inside a fear pent up for too long perhaps now as he begins his tyrade thinking he alone is of the superior race and that all those of other colors or backgrounds are lesser people he will stand alone as will i again scared crying and wishing i again had that man to hold my hand walk on the beach kiss goodnight and call my sweet.
