& in the same moment,
my name.
How dare you, I hissed,
because I could not
love you back.
I was taken
by a power,greater.
My rituals
designed
for one.
You are
merely
a disruption.
And what
an awful thing to say
to such a sweet soul.
So instead I leave,
for your dear sake
or mine.
I want to be well,
& in the same moment,
I do not.
For I am like the snake
that devours itself.
This is my life
and death.
To break the cycle
will break me–
& there, in the rift
of body and soul,
