silently i walk in the garden
flowers once in bloom have all died
a solitary statue that crumbled so long ago,
still sits and waits for your return
serene and overgrown
in here we are alone
as creeping vines tighten their grip
around what’s left of the stone
i place a crown of thorns like a halo
over the figure destroyed by time
and scatter pastel petals on the ground
as our final offering to you
now that the burden has finally been lifted
i purify the grounds with cleansing sage
it’s fragrant smoke
gives way to fire
i know i must burn
this effigy
i know i must
destroy this memory
from restless dreams i wake,
i thought i saw your face
silence
decay
i wait
i fade

we were bled out
we were left to die
everyone around walked away and wiped the blade
all we have is us
in the silence
three figures draped in ash
perform a dark ritual
i want you to hurt
burn the altar
tear the flesh from bone
feel the weight of death as we dance on the precipice
all we have is us
in shadows we rise
as the cross
on the bedside
begins to turn
i want you to hurt
what was once ours
will soon be again
a new life born from the one they tried to take
all we have is us
