The Fall

That caliginous night

when the snow fairies retreated

retreated down south

A bond forged by happenstances

came crumbling down

to bits and pieces

scattered near the edge

of a waterfall

Rocks laced with ice

you stood near the edge

I ran over to you

as you moved towards it

The rocks slippery

like how you slipped away

as I tried to hold you

to keep you safe

but you took for me

as a dispiteous devil in disguise

You ripped my hands apart

for trying to keep you aboard

from the flowing current

dragging you into the abyss

In that moment

your eyes resembled the icy rocks

clouded by your afterthoughts

Helplessly, I watched you go

my blood now mixing with the current

that took you down

As you gashed my hands

the thread tying our fates together frayed

with those words you screamed at me

wishing i should be the satan

so that you could name all your dark thoughts

with my name

You gladly embraced the ice cold sea

and let the murk around you

paint you into its underling

as you submerged into the trenches

beneath the sea

after the fall
