In greatly horrific desolation
Forgiveness never remains
The betrayals of the heart
Are never forgotten
She looked at him
With no sympathy
She knew every wrong move
He had made insistently
Upon her chess board
She cared not
Instead, she clung
To the infinite signal
That guided her through
Eternity's boundlessness
Love itself and nothing more
She took a few steps
Looked deep into his lying eyes
Gently grabbed his unshaved face
With her thin weary hands
Kissing him
Upon his wrinkled forehead
And hugging him so tightly
He could never break free
This moment is unconditional love
And with that,
She turned upon her heels
Letting the past fade
Into a black hole of oblivion
Her long black cape
Drifting in the turbulent winds
No regrets did she keep
For she knew the story well
From a collection
Of missing puzzle pieces
She had coaxed
From his dormant mind
Unsettling yes
Shook to the core yes
But as always
She is the survivor
Of every apocalyptic moment
That forged her existence
