"you knew this was going to happen regardless,

i refused to see it; seemed so harmless.

bystanders must've thought we're too spotless:

those pesky seams rip at knifepoint, how parlous.

once we're over, i know they'll bombard us...

for now, i'll stay in this harness.

but before all that, i'll linger in my darkness.

these days are spent artless,

i feel nothing but godless

a professed hopeless romantic: now starless."
