pulled back the blinds
and shrouded me in darkness.

and charred the place
where I housed our dreams.
Cracking the concrete that lead to our door.
devoured the life
surrounding the perimeter.
engulfed me in a blackness
I won't soon forget.
misled by my own disillusions of who I wanted you to be.
the pages of this fairy tale are blank,
and would better make for kindling.
Rather start new,
or keep warm for that matter,
I chose to walk toward the lake alone.
feet bound by lies
I toss this to the cliffs,
broken with the others at the bottom.
misled by my own disillusion
of who I wanted you to be.

Shrouded, blank, Shrouded, blank.
Feet bound by lies
you hung bleeding water
into a rapidly growing puddle.
I watch the sun set in our
tear stained canvas sky.
