Heralded memories, horribly disgraced

Hallowed bond, laid tragically to waste

True love sacred

Stained to hatred

Like a violent drowning

Tossing me around

It

Dethrones

It

Disowns

It

Shatters my soul

It

Chisels

It

Collapses

It

Carves a sinkhole

It

Punishes the shoreline

It

Tears down my naked shrine

All jagged and barbed

Knifelike and slicing

Birthed of my own devising

What started as ripples

Bash savagely to cripple

An intimacy well-meant

Has disgorged a foe, not a friend
