New Song
Search the coldest places
You, always locked in concrete,
Twirled in banners,
Gilded eyes, you stood statuesque...
Statuesque
You
gave
from
me
We held it like a child in our hands
Spun a spell like a dulcet song
Like a succubus tending to a wound
And though the artifice fell
It broke apart like a fractured china set
Broke apart like the wings of an angel
Falling through the ashes
Empathy
Was never the strong point
Broke it down like a wicker fortress
Cut it down like a bullet from a bleeding sore
Dismantled and reloaded
We became the one and only arc
Set the trigger
Set the target
Like a vulture sparing sympathy
Wrote it down from a burning page
Tip the hourglass
Let me slip under precipice.
You
Fell
Too much wine for the Tyrant King
Too many brides in a harem filled with lies
Unquestioned
You broke the mark.
Now you evanesce.
