Gray's Tragedy

You are

Locked

In my chest.

Piece by piece

 

I throw you

In the lake,

Hoping

The Dark Night

 

Doesn’t see--

Praying

The Sunrise

Doesn’t

 

Catch me.

I didn’t know

My deepest love

Would accidentally

 

Kill you.

I turn my back

On you--

You

 

Whose beautiful

Eyes

Painted me

Most truly.

 

They will

Find you,

But my

Monogram

 

Is gone.

My face

Is the same.

My concealment--

 

When you

Slipped beneath

Ambiguous waves,

So did I.
