Poetry

Vanquished

Your burden has been liftedThis life is finally mineLeft as just a memoryYou’re lost inside a written line

Resting on a dusty shelfHolding hands with timeYour memory is locked awayTrapped inside forgotten rhyme

And now my heart is free of painYour poison gone from my drinkI’ve buried you on sheets of whiteYour reaper was my pen and ink
