20. Of Chilvary and the Great Monster

Beyond
the boundaries
of my heart
I have no dominion

And inside
my crumbling empire
you're still
the only ruler

Though
you abandoned it
unaguarded

away
to your own exile

These mold covered walls
still have your name
carved in them
underneath

These rusty swords
still carry
the sharp metal
once forged with our fire

They are clamoring
your name
in empty echoes
waiting for the day

you walk in
through the gates
again

And reflourish
my soul

With only
one glance
one smile
one sigh
one word
one touch
one kiss
