I Named us Grief
I call us part dread, part song
part story, part wrong.
We built our castles in each other
out of splintered spine and blood..
We met in grief and
were held together by its mud....
Took crowns made of bones
placed it on each others heads..
We loved each other with
fragments of ourselves that were dead.
This is why we couldn't rely
on the promises that we spoke...
Perhaps in a different time
I would have named us hope.....
Perhaps in a different universe
we would not meet so battelworn....
And I would call us forgiveness
and not remember us as war......
