In 24 hours, she'll be here
cause she has to be.
It's not the best way to meet,
but it's all I have left.

In a fit of desperation,
I sent her a bouquet
of coffins filled with blood -
it once was love -
rotten and sour.

You fractured me
with treachery
and watched me deteriorate
in hopelessness;
dreams of you in vain.

That night
all my answeres were questioned.
And I borrowed every ounce
of optimism I could find
only to set it free
as you did to me.

1.

Far colder than
the temperature outside,
freezing the flowers
that fall dead
in my trunk.
