Edmond
My wide eyes used to broil bright with thoughts and dreams of success.

Now my narrow eyes glare, coated in soot and ash of poor ideals.

I
know
the distance between us
are
ivory
tip
into an ebony bone
still
my blood boils over
red as my heart,
tunnelling through
the
night
seeking the soul
who
ignited the light.

I love you
said her fiance
I'll cuff you too
said his future wife?

Meteoric rise
Catastrophic crash

Sin
I held you tight and stayed awhile
As the tears stung my cheeks
My heart it breaks into shattered sorrow
And the night glares upon my grief
While the pale moon seems to cry
And stars dim the light

I never told you so many things
As time was supposed to be forever
But now the soul that I knew
Lies cold and still
Waiting to be released

I cannot promise that I’ll
Find happiness once more
As my love died tonight
And the darkness
Begs at my door
