what was ours

is consumed,

ashes .

you waged your war,

a silent terror,

and i burned with it .

i may be a fool

to the realness of your love,

but i am no fool

to your tactics, love .

you left without realizing

what life was to spring

from such desolate rubble .

and all else is a veil

or an expression !

with the whole world in one room,

i know you'd hear my voice

calling out for you .
