Never Again
The flowing gown of our
barren past lays in ruin beneath
a broken shell of skin and bone,
evading all love, will, hope, desire
-- the crux of our faded glory --
for I claim you
only to lose you,
and love you
only to watch you burn
as my spine rips from gilded cage
and blackheads burst
across my squandered knees, crying,
"Never again! Never!"
Until the next time.
