Broken

Mathew Swanner

 

Head bowed in disgrace
Tears fallen down a pallid face
Lost in the ambient abyss of unknowable sorrow.
Forlorn love trapped behind bellicose eyes,
Eternally focused on an ambiguous epitaph,
Arcane runes traced in crimson ribbons upon her flesh
Speak of a heart forsaken
And left in the dust only traces
Speak of the one, broken
Lost to us.
