“Therefore” / Memorable Fancies #4333

[“‘Why do / You thus devise / Evil against her?’ For that / She is beautiful, delicate: / Therefore.” – Adelaide Crapsey (1878-1914)]

I was beautiful and delicate, too

Before I met her, and then I saw that

She was beautiful and delicate, too

Perhaps not as beautiful and delicate as I,

But nearly so, so nearly that we might have been

The same.

But I devised evil against her.

And carried out my plan.

Now I am not

Beautiful and delicate

Anymore
