Dead rats rotting on my doorstep
sordid hate laughing in my ear
vitriol chomping on my guts
blood raining in buckets on soul.
I yearn for the silent peace
emptiness giving me solace
I want to expand my lungs
breathe you in and love once more.
Outside forces banged on our windows
as we struggled and sunk into oblivion.
I remember the touch of your love
glowing fireworks of sparkling light.
Alas, the sky has emptied and is barren.
I forgive you one last time
but our love has been slain
by the softest of blossoms on our skin.
