Without recalling my stubborn hate is how I would have liked to remember
That’s all I ever wanted from you before you were gone forever
I tattooed the word failure into my mind with a gun filled with the tears I refuse to cry  
Capital letters spelt my safe word, my refuge of numbness and I’d slither inside    
     Your final tears bore not my reflection
I’ll brew for years
Concord my conscious
Cement my convictions not your virtuous ruined state of self undoing
