Einhänder
#4 of Poems
A personal love story
The prince who singlehandedly
Singlehandedly took hold of my heart
Without its prince the kingdom of my heart fell into ruin
Without its ruler, chaos consumed the wastes
But a part of me will remain interred with your bones
Even as your body recompenses the Earth
The strength you gave me; the will to go on
The knowledge that love can be found anywhere
I'll live by every lesson you taught me
As I try to fix the black hole you left inside my heart
Sometimes I wish I could have been your princess
Beyond gender, beyond species, beyond love
We could have ruled over this empty kingdom
Watching as the boundless extent marched on before us
