Trees surround my naive heart
their bark damp and cold
my soul wet and bitter.
The sun had set long ago…
my fortitude shattered
into two and then to three
and now please
leave me alone here.
The sky is grey
blanketing my sullen thoughts
My desires now dead.
T’was a mirage cascaded my yearning mind
I now leave your
white lies and half-truths behind
and join the perpetual oubliette
and with it bury our animosity for good.
