This pen 
The cruelest blade 
The power of 
Merciless words to endear 
With clinched fist clinched teeth 
And burning words 
I take my leave 

Embers 
Memories 
Charred remnants 
Of all that we had 
The demise of all we were 

Wisdom 
Of futile years 
Affinity 
Ceasing this wintering of me 
A final look 
One last glance 
And the burning words I take my leave 

Embers 
Memories 
Charred remnants 
Of all that we had 
The demise of all we were
