You held me.
Blanketed me through a calloused winter.
Preserved me
As I sank.
Drowning in an ocean of self inflicted death.
Dominoes falling one by one.
Then just me. Standing on the ledge.............
But the sun rose.
Spawning spring's renewal.
Learning love
Our passion permeated,
Outlasted pain.
Bonding, blooming
to our minds eternity.
To summers searing heat,
you blanketed me still.
Held hands turned to talons.
You couldn't cope with the man I'd become.
Our faded flame.
My savior
with nothing left to save.
And then,
autumn approached
handing me your fatal fall.
Running water.
Opened door.
revealing
to me
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
crisscrossed cuts meandering
to a crimson pool.
My heart stopped, my eyes spilled.
Praying
My staggered soul
Would somehow resurrect You.
my savior.
You saved me.
But I couldn't save you.
