YOUR LOVE WOUNDS ME

Your love wounds me,
like a trained rapier,
crippling my heart.

So steady is your hand,
so steady are your slices,
I am defenseless
before your whims.

Inspired by line "I am wounded by love" "Tenor" by Guillaume de Machaut from "Dame, je suis cilz/Fins cuers doulz/Fins cuers doulz", from The Mirror of Narcissus, Hyperion CDA66087, track 2.

(Really means "My love for you" and 'your' casual attitude to it. On fictitious, but perhaps the woman pictured is reminiscent of Katie.)
