In times that seem
no longer mine
I recall
what it was like
to bleed at will
to lie in
pools of chaotic red
and gain control

And long after Elpis
in all her abundance
dwindled away
dissolving into
the endless chasm
you came for me
dark haired
and ethereal
destroying the demons
with smile and song

In days that have
long since past
I remember
beautiful misery
beguiling with shadows
but you
you have created
a new path for me
to tread upon.
