I was a

lost boy

toy soldier

from her

life.


lying still

after the

final conflict,


bleeding regret,

ready to let

the earth

soak me

down.


a fool's

look painted

on my face,


crimson cheeks

wallaby eyes.

a heartless

shell of

circumstance.


barely taking

last breaths

between

love's nowhere

shadows.

.
glory lost.


bound

only to

where

bad lovers

go to die.


to where

lover's skeletons

have been

picked clean

to the

bone.


and lies

and deceit

have rotten

their eyes.

without glory

or any chance

of redemption.

and I wonder

now..

do you even

remember my

name.
