A Poem by Jess Rose

If no man is an island, you left me alone and less than human
Before you I was a monster yet, a creature with misshapen dreams
too abstract to live, and too concrete to die

But how cruel to strip such a creature of their illusion of humanity

And love. Oh, love.
What be love but a drug and life our dealer
But love and life are wicked sisters
They lie and deceive
They steal back what they have given
The hypocrites, they create only to destroy

There is but one promise to be kept by these witches: the promise of an end

And here I walk, wandering
I run, skip
I dance into this dark unknown

For dark is more known to me than the light

And I never feared
