The Day she goes
Or Day she stays
Are equally supreme—
Existence has a stated width
Departed, or at Home—
Karen Apr 2017
I used to tell myself
I owed anyone nought
but that's no longer true.
I owe too much.

For the lightness left behind,
I write and bleed out my ink
to all of those I've deprived
of letting go deep into me.

Call me now the Unfair Goddess of Light
as I set on fire the past
and steer the beat of our hearts.
Just to never look back.

— The End —
