I Wear My Devastation

Summary:

A poem from Ruby, to Summer Rose

Work Text:

 

Tattered leggings, wretched memories,

As I lay by your grave today.

Corset tight, holding back life,

Keeping everything together by thin strings.

 

Traded hopeful crosses for ephemeral roses,

For I have lost my motherly saviour.

Everything passes; rotting neurosis,

Shaking, I move forward; Instinctual behavior.

 

At scythe's length I keep this reality away;

Wishing even further, at a sniper's distance.

I cannot grasp, I cannot fathom,

Can barely recollect,

Your solace within kisses...

 

I want to remember the warmth of your Summer! 

I want to experience what I cannot remember!

Why was everything torn so asunder?

Who turned this love...into December? 

 

I wear my Devastation.

Grieving petals, left behind.

I need not mention my desolation;

Flowering forth, endless supply
