Brutal words fell from parted lips meet,
before time could grasp reprieve,
heavy burdens rarely extend further with no intervene,
lost exhalation pushed heart closer to retreat;
forget walls do rightfully bleed,
they hold tight of gripped memories,
& stained in stellar heat -
though,
easier pretending all depletes,
diluting beneath blankets of milkweed,
yet... no such treat;
every morsel solely eludes conceit
&
but begs to be freed.
