THE LOVE I DID IMPLORE

The empty promise broke



surprising my soul once more.                                   


The sun is a shell of silence


beneath my dirty floor.






It is morning, he says.


I stand by the coral door,


unconcerned, repeating words,


the same words I had said before.






As I descend the stairs,


by earth despised, I abhor


your touch, your lullaby


and the love I did implore.
