the pen in my hands is unbalanced.
we're down in the dark, our irises shaped like gods' grand statues
think you can confront me?
ha.
the charming chalice you bestow to my memory
is so clearly a grasp at my mind.
don't tempt me with Circe's eyes,
you don't see it, but the need to destroy is coming closer.
i know that you will never win this game,
nor will the boar be slit or devoured.
the pendulum of my truth will haunt the foreground of your heart.
as you send our infant flying and melt yourself in honor of the sun.

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.
