never ever never

Nothingness to see
An ache
Rising to despair
A graduate of searing numbness

Linger here and hear
Some final sigh into the night
Whose agony
Stars cannot pierce

All this to taste
A certain fate
When if you do
Give up your Hope

Swoop

I cannot
Bring you back
Can I 
Breathe in you new life
With a breath all my own
How will I
Erase your pain
I will not

I shall not
Dishonor your story
Shall I
With my wish to the stars
Diminish your scars
How could I
Erase your name
I could not

but one

Everything was white

And there were almost too many flowers

The distance from there to there finally closed

It was daylight

Not that anyone would remember

And for once, nobody looked away 

Sage

The learned vixens
Damn them 
Bless them
How
How did they know

How may I hear it
More tenderly though
Will half-open soft eyes
And low heartfelt voice
Ease the blow

Or best to re-frame
There is no dark day
Coming for you
That you cannot handle
I knew they knew
