'Grey Wind' by Ravyn LaRue


I know I shouldn’t let things get to me like this anymore
But sweetheart, when I heard the tears seeping into your voice-
It destroys me.
It makes me think of all we’ve done and how hollow our efforts have become-
We’re no longer venerated spirits-
We’re the bitter ever-lamenting untouchables we jokingly portrayed.
Right now, in the wind and grey I feel so empty-
So far from the high of earlier.
All I want to do is encapsulate you and assure you that we are deserving, despite what fate thinks.
But I cannot, for I feel just as broken-
I’m just cold bones and fat.
My heart is solidified and far from me-
This was such a triumph
And now it feels so invalid.
I want to fill this void by gushing out emotions-
Yet I feel it’s for not.
Our glorious opportunity has been dashed-
And all I have is you-
And I will comfort you to the best of my ability-
Because I love you and you deserve everything-
I’ve had my treasures.
And you deserve so much more-
I would give you my rotten heart, and cold fat and bones
I would take away the usurpers
I would do anything if it could change things-
But I asked for a challenge in my stupid abstract prayers
And perhaps this is it-
But it shouldn’t have destroyed what you strived for.
