---

I walked for miles

through grey flatland

each step a trial

without your voice

calling to me

without your shadow

bleeding into mine

until it's dark expanse

engulfs me.

you were the sky

where it meets the sea

and your ruin

was a wound too deep.

so I sit alone and wait

to die

in the ash

of paradise

never been

or meant to be.

there is no end to anything

just birth

rebirth

and pain.
