Love’s Finality

Relinquished myself as captive,

the handcuffs dig deeper drawing blood

dripping like teardrops from your lack of words

As the explosions of Armageddon wave around us, deafening

Shove my face into the dirt beneath your boot, I smile

At least a reaction, disregarding the pain

Violent outbursts of light flash rapidly

Before the darkness of peace

like falling asleep
