Martyrdom

[eatyourfriends]

I am
a poet in a time of
illiteracy and science.
Falling in love while
the cataclysmic Earth
crumbles grieving into
heartbroken oceans.
The miles stand on guard
like 4000 armies between us.

I was made only for you.
Eons of evolution,
planets dissolved, reformed,
and stars aligned
and so we meet.
And if
this enormous conspiracy of fate
should fail,
I will be blamed.
My chest be turned to dust,
I am sovereign
in the face of consequence.
