His Man

Midas & Medusa gave birth to him
now everything touches turns to stone
and everything he looks at shines like gold
it’s easy to blame your faults on the flaws you inherit
because everything shines he’s going blind
he doesn’t know what love is!
Wait-
this is new here.
He doesn’t change under his caress!
and he’s terrified!
Is this love?
Not stones, not gold
but so terrible!
So terrible!
