what happened here ?
we ignored all warnings
we built a tomb of unsaid words
filled the walls
with our secret discontent,
the rugs bulging
with all we’d swept underneath
a cave, a prison, a mausoleum
for all of our dying dreams
What was the cause of the fire?
an overloaded circuit
a cigarette, not quite crushed out
a forgetten stove
was it you, with a lighter
and me, with a gas can
what was started
by the disrepair of neglect
was surely finished
by the deliberate destruction
of a desperate rage
Were there any victims?
I looked at you
ringed by fire
at every window and every door
there is someone waiting
with outstretched arms
ready to pull us away to safety
back to the light of a world
we’d all but forgotten
in our years of creating
this darkness together
the flames are licking tenderly
at my skin
the air is hazy with a heat
i almost love
after our endless winter
your eyes call out to me
your hand reaches for mine
i will hold you until the world ends,
i whisper
as the light fades
as i am torn away
as the sound of falling timbers
fills my ears
i will hold you until
we are nothing but ashes
My Name Is Trinity
