i married
your memory
swore my vows
real solemn -
til death
do us part.
i kiss
your shadow
good night,
hold the hand
of your ghost
who follows me
around.
i am faithful
to your demons
i made my own -
my eyes never
stray
far away
from the darkness
you left
even if others
offer me light.
polyamory does not
tempt me
because nobody
is you -
i wear
the ring
of bondage
you left
me with
and lie to the world
to myself
that i belong
to you.
swore my promises
to keep you alive
in me -
death might
be better.

Llion the Brave Version 2
Her screams diminished as Llion was dragged away from the cell. The stench in the corridor was less but there was still damp, decay, defecation, death. His feet dragged, like a raggedy puppet, the guard either side of him holding him fast. He could feel their individual fingers digging into his scant flesh, leaving their impression on his bones.
