Gone

too far gone the scales never lie I turned an ear and carried my babe where the wind howls and faces crack my hair, shorn to the skin bares no grudge like me, it bends to the need I replay our first act the rub of your dimpled collar the warmth yes, the warmth was comfort where none was ever found your gentle mind abused but never doubting became my pillar my thorny steed the last beam marked your departure the back of your head bobbing like a fire fly then darkness
