half-torn rose
withering old love,
you are dead

                                                  —a.d

you've left
delicate scars
i'm forever yours

                                                  —a.d

daydreaming
silent thoughts of you
extending my reach to the stars

my dear, true and bright,
time's eclipsed in our adoration
like golden rays, my eternal sunshine

                                                  —a.d

beautiful as ever
your voice still resonates
within the depths of my soul

                                                  —a.d

you've left
delicate scars
i'm forever yours

                                                  —a.d

your name
cascades moonlight
beaming lustrous
until dawn

up until
the closing of my
eyes
to death

i'll remain
within your love
forever

                                                  —a.d

thorns
blushing
and crisp

freshly trimmed
around the heart

                                                  —a.d

rip my soul open
take every bit, gather every shard
of the world we shared

turned to dust
locked in time, i'll always shine
for you

                                                  —a.d
