Buried in tattered cloth and sodden wool

Normalise the dulling ache and anxious pull

With muzzle flash, we killed the iron lung

We severed all, through stillest tongue

Falling further, ever further

In deepest recess, you reside

Greying memories red and butchered

Annulled within my mind

Nostalgic poison washes through

Tsumani buries all we held inside

I’ve lost so much and said so little

The puzzle pieces lost beneath the tide

In a flash of fire, the red did kiss the green

The deadened limbs still heavy, from a fading dream

A ghostly shadow in the periphery, the void that once depressed

That once repressed

A pound of flesh upon the scales

Noxious, rotten, undone

But its you who now bares the scars

Eclipsed by the man that I have become

Your loss, immeasurable

Immemorial
