All We Had

This pen

The cruelest blade

The power of

Merciless words to endear

With clinched fist clinched teeth

And burning words

I take my leave

Embers

Memories

Charred remnants

Of all that we had

The demise of all we were

Wisdom

Of futile years

Affinity

Ceasing this wintering of me

A final look

One last glance

And the burning words I take my leave

Embers

Memories

Charred remnants

Of all that we had

The demise of all we were
