Abdicate

Nightfall 

encapsulates the 

wretched castle halls

Roses lay wilt 

on the stone cold floor


He sits on his throne

For once on his own

in castle they built together,

now ruined. 


He isn't broken 

he’s merely sore

He mourns the loss of his angel

who bid farewell and skipped away


But he still thinks of her 

He misses her voice, gaze and laughter

He misses because he lost his chance,

and he'll find no other


He hates how much he cares

He hates that he's re-enacting clichés

The irony of  love is in the fall

where fond memories turn nightmares
