Origami lily I fold,

A frightened,fragile heart I hold.

Wavering,delicate as the lily I crease,

Hoping not to be crushed by a charming beast.

A blackhole I weave,

Foolish - heart on my sleeve.

Aching.

Breaking.

Uncontrolled shaking.

Breathing impaired,

- my lungs know -

You never cared.

Never thought.

Never fought.

I want to forget,

this inevitable regret.

My tears fall like autumn leaves,

swept away by your clumsy feet.

In the twilight,I stand torn,

- my thread in your careless hands -

waiting to be reborn.

I'm half of what I used to be,

Incomplete: the result of your savagery.

Merely a shadow. Half a soul.

Another darkness adding to my blackhole.
