I boxed up the remnants
That remain in my heart
And waited for you to commandeer them.

But six days you lingered instead,
A wind-whipped shadow
On the fringe of our burning garden;

Tiptoeing over fresh wet-stones
In hopes of breaking my hope-brittle spine.
Your Genesis of betrayal;
Adam’s obsessions filtered through
Cain’s heart,
And somehow I now bear the mark.

There, but for the amusement of God, go I;
Branded and baked, as I shovel soot.
"Keepsakes,"
I'll whisper to each flake
Fallen upon eyelashes.

Today, coupled with regret,
Weighs muddily grey on my eyes.
Anathema,
A wanderer,
I'll trudge forever through your vicious memory.
a collaboration with the incredibly wonderful and insanely sweet :iconsovereignsin:
