timeless ache.

a timeless ache:

your name dead on my tongue,

forever.

and i still crave:

the way your promises

glittered against my darkest night,

and the way i felt when i loved you,

and i believed you loved me too.

but daylight broke.

a light i'd been praying for,

but we were born for darkness,

weren't we?

you were only there to hold me

in my shadow

(was i saved?)

(was i shackled?)

(was i shattered?)

solar revelations

and revolutions.

rose vision giving way to clarity:

you and i are better off

a memory.
