The Cessation of Fidelity
Shivering in the dark
like the moss under a stone,
I genuflect beneath the languid stars.
From this ever expanding chasm,
there appears no escape.
But I've dug this hole myself
and here I will lie eternally.
I offer no apologies,
for that would be in vain.
I will face the jury,
and welcome the waves with open arms.
There is no remorse for my malefaction
in my blackened, bitter heart.
Only sorrow for what I've lost.
