even if I die

---

Even if I die,

I will still carry

echoes of him

in my weeping shadows.

And when I am sealed

In the core of earth:

and mud covers my

barrened soul,

while maggots feast on my cadaver;

and bones:

still they would find

the remnants of his love in me

the way he remains

tangled within my being.

Even if not as mine,

he will forever remain

as my muse.
