Even in the next life,
if your voice is cruel
and your hands forget mine,
I’ll search for you.

Even if you break me again
in another body,
with another name
I’ll ache the same way.

I’ll find you
through every life and loss,
and love you
even if I shouldn’t.

Because some promises
are older than mercy,
and I was always meant
to follow yours
through the dark.
