Aethra
The burden that breaks this back
is the weight of letting you down,
having lost your way,
having seen you drown.
You were the bright sky turned cloudy,
as I took shelter from your rain.
Your tears had filled oceans
and I cowered from your pain.
Now my heart hangs as heavy
as the world upon my shoulders.
Punishment fitting for the one
who stole, held, and broke hers.
