i married

your memory

swore my vows

real solemn -

til death

do us part.

i kiss

your shadow

good night,

hold the hand

of your ghost

who follows me

around.

i am faithful

to your demons

i made my own -

my eyes never

stray

far away

from the darkness

you left

even if others

offer me light.

polyamory does not

tempt me

because nobody

is you -

i wear

the ring

of bondage

you left

me with

and lie to the world

to myself

that i belong

to you.

swore my promises

to keep you alive

in me -

death might

be better.

    It's so true—nobody can ever replace that unique person

  • "Because nobody is you". That line hit me so hard because it's so true. Nobody is him
