Fae

A break

My lover, my liver
Hear this and know

The depths of your soul
are unimaginable

Your eyes so deep
your compassion so complete

If you were to come down to the ground,
you would see

no guilt lies on your shoulders
time and time again
you were the bigger person,
and you crossed over

your own limitations,
your own weaknesses and faults,

the breaking dawn follows you closely,
listens, breathless,
taking notes

To run from the Sun
is as wise as to hide –
there are times when we need an escape

You have done your duty,
you were a bringer of beauty,

and now you deserve a break
