Work Text:
From my hands, the precious
jewel you left me fell to its end.
Shattered snd broken, scattered and
lost, I am nothing now.
The warmth of an early summer rain
encases my withered heart.
A trembling wallflower, a phantom
in the garden, a burden.
Rosemary and sapphire, pearl and
lace, pure white and blood red.
Our love was a tragedy and a catastrophe.
In the cold fruit of death sleep the cruel seeds of life.
Pomegranates and hope are just false promises.
A bittersweet comedy holding my memory.
Golden apples and time are just false eulogies.
Rose petals choking my lungs,
thoughts of what could have been.
I am plagued by sleeplessness and
squandered praises.
Your indifference sings and cries a
cacophonous requiem for me.
In the rosy dawn, the searing
noontide, the ephemeral twilight.
I will remain here, lovely and
abandoned, devastated and haunting.
