This pen
the cruelest blade
the power of
merciless words to endear
with clinched fist clinched teeth
and burning words
I take my leave
Embers
memories
charred remnants
of all that we had
the demise of
all we were
Wisdom
of futile years
affinity ceasing its wintering of me
a final look
one last glance
and burning words I take my leave
Embers
memories
charred remnants
of all that we had
the demise of
all we were
