Dec 2018
She asked me to erase her masterpiece
out of my life, her bright and gentle
touch, the vivid dreams within her
soul, the waves that used to whirl
inside my veins.  

I stared at her unfinished design,
a distant depiction drifting in
the moonlight, a desolate
dungeon of faded shadows.

I know that she wants me to
bleed in this hollow space and
fall apart in tortured galaxies.  
But if she must leave to satisfy
her kingdom, I’d rather see her
walk away across the seas.
