Before/Because

These words, flavoured by
'Before I ever met you'
because Banks' lyrical lyricism
fuels the fireless flames that still fester-
flagrant, fortified by reminders of your faithlessness.
They carve inscriptions on the underside of my skin
staining the surface with a
caustic, corrosive cancer. It reads:
'Because I met you'
