This pen
The cruelest blade
The power of
Merciless words to endear
With clinched fist clinched teeth
And burning words
I take my leave

Embers
Memories
Charred remnants
Of all that we had
The demise of
All we were

Wisdom
Of futile years
Affinity ceasing its wintering of me
A final look
One last glance
And burning words I take my leave

Embers
Memories
Charred remnants
Of all that we had
The demise of
All we were
