In retrospect, I loved you

For reasons oh, so wrong.

Or perhaps confusèd love and lust.

And lovst was just too strong.

In retrospect, you ruined my life

I should have been more cautious.

But youth’s synonymous with error

And your allure was noxious.

In retrospect I made mistakes

In thinking you were smarter.

But you have your religious views,

And I’m a godless martyr.
