i recollect from memory's crypt

i recollect from memory's crypt that i had wept while you had slipped out into night and like a knife made cuts into our past. you'd bled the vein, now i in pain, the secrets slain: profess my innocence. you say the lies won't last. and healing still my mind made ill the health we shared in youth. i thought you cared for truth, but: harking back our talking slackened, blackened in the pressured proof.
