Rome

A poem *TW: grief*

Lost and alone,

I found my way to

An island called Rome

That I built in a day.

I share it with

My only love,

And where he lays,

I vowed to stay.

Speaking to

The open air,

I reach for something more.

An answer,

A kiss!

Something greater than my

Crippling grief

And paralyzed mine.

I'd love to find

My way back home,

But I can't leave without you.

How can I

Ever move on?

You are my only son.
