Remembrance

It was in remembrance
that he was broken
Not in the loss

All things fade
of this he was sure
She did fade
of this he was sure

Losing her was no
problem
It was what she left
behind

She planted a barb
in his skin
with each move he made
each thought that invaded his mind
The barb dug deeper

Everything was connected to her
And now nothing was as well
She herself was nothing

She hadn't known then
He didn't either

When she died
She signed his death warrant as well
