"The Parting"
Standing the doorway
this should not be
if this must end
let me be the one to bleed
nothing left flowing in my veins
my brain betrays me
there is no starting over
the divide has become too great
I am the shadow
that haunts the night
while you sleep comfortably
in the memory of longing
the grip threatens to overtake you
I do not wish to be saved
from whatever dismal fate
the serpent may cast
after the fall
you stand over me
reaching out to touch my cheek
and with a final kiss
you whispered as you left,
"You should have known better."
