Lately, I find- 
he is more enraged than ever before-
and though someone told me 
it was because I walked away-
because I left him stranded
alone with the warrior's share.

it was not me... His life, 
has always been a fight.

Loyalty lies, cold as death.
embedded in the size ten footprint
on this heart beneath his foot.
and now that I am gone,
people are talking again...

they told me that this is still my problem
they told me that this is still my fault

but it isn't

and I don't give a fuck
who's idea it was in the first place...

I followed through with what he never would.
This plan with which he never disagreed,
was the undoing of a trust
that I left entirely in his hands.
And he would deny completion---

though I see now, all the gaps
and all unfinished edges on this
surface, sanded smooth
from years of overuse

are simply
where the truth shines through.
