A Letter Addressed To Whoever Confesses First
A poem inspired by a prompt
One day, fellow defiant warriors You will find contentment in your emptiness You will be begging to disparage your misfortune And, another day, you will give up
You will not be chasing a wandering hope Desiring a frail, agonizing touch You will be seeking ways of existing without pain That will be brought on by the wind’s musical pause
So, spare the cries of your fellow travelers You still have time to reconsider and rescind Your portraits will be painted on this castle’s walls When there is nothing more to erase
One day, fellow heart-broken warriors We will be raising our glasses to your courage Alas, your epiphany is now running late Let our merciful fire drown you
You will be crowned and we will rejoice Confess your love and errors now And you shall receive eternal glory When the time is right
