This sweetness that surrounded us, and bled with us
We touched it, and it smelt far worse than weeds

I have touched winds
I have touched sorrows
(I touched the devil once)

and I have touched the past

It was like the love of thorns, like the beauty of dead summer
But I, the lurker, the carrier of wounds outlived
It
I have left now (Have I not?)

The thorns embraced us,
While resemblance dragged us further down
It burried our minds

None shall outlive this rhyme
