My Sagacity Is None But You -

she was my sagacity-
the one who eased my 
troublesome culpability

yes, it was her-
                   (the one)
now a fragmented spirit am i

wrapping myself in her
overlay-
layers of frigid ice flows
through my veins;
no silk blanket enveloped
by lullabies can give me
warmth
       ~cold love remains~

a raven guards my intellect-
he sees the need my 
mind craves when i get
lost in her world
for she is my brilliant star
that can never shine afar

i rest with nightmares
lingering into my obscurity-
                     I AWAKE LIFELESS


glass shattered underneath
my bare toes-
a punishment only an outsider 
knows

she believed in me when i 
had no faith in her;
i sit with her by the sill and
with a whisper softer than a whisper,
i say,
“you are not flawed, sweet friend, 
just wear wounds too deep to mend”

i suffer in silence for her-
she grasps my immortality and
rages with passionate fervor

i lay down and rest my weary, weary head-
wrapped gently in a down blanket…
but this time i heard angels cry instead


we hold frail hands without guarantee-
                          though she's damaged, 
     she's my sagacity
