The all-clear has
Been given
& the sun has fully
Risen
To reveal the blotched red
Face of another
Sorry aching
From which escape seems
Almost improbable
So I'll gladly clip my
Wings
& settle down in my
Depth
& debt of all the
Forgiving
That has been long spent
& wasted upon you
For I cannot see myself ever
Truly abandoning
My sleep
As you continue to
Remind me
In all this bitter forsaken *******
Glory
That this war in my head
Will never end
& the ashes will never
Part
& the drinks
Oh, the drinks will be
My only friend
When you are no longer allowed
To be
& all that's been so
Lost
& forgotten
Has come to stake its claim
in my bitter
skin & bone
When you whisper of my
beauty
& I cannot say
goodbye.
