A monster wrote me a letter today
That said he was coming to take away
Our one true thing and surely may
Find my heart in pieces lay.
His vicious task would swallow whole
Yours and my collective soul
A vacant, bottomless, blackest hole
Heartless, he my sweetness stole.
His sick intent clearly to impale
My chest upon the bluntest nail
With all my being, resist and rail
Against the hurt and without fail.
An impossible choice was ours to make
To risk and fear the highest stake
My core to the coals he did rake
Relentless, firm, he came to take.
Not a sound came from your lips
Into the dark you quickly slipped
Nothing known could ever outstrip
Our love but hopeless, unequipped.
How could I sit and merely wait
For time to pass and make me late
To recognize your impending fate
And delay my action to later hate.
So I carried you into the sun
Wanting to walk, forced to run
To where we might find just one
Moment before your time was done.
You left me there, not far behind
Empty. Crushed. Shattered. Blind.
Our love the strangest kind of kind
The best for you that I could find.
