Always with you
and Never near you
the Only Truth
you cover with lies
the Caged Pearl
you cannot release
the Collateral Damage
you dare not trigger
the Unsullied Air
you cannot breathe
the Holy Muse
you cannot honour
All you love
and Nothing you can
the If Only
and the Must Not
the Blood that turns Blue
to Indelible Indigo
the stainless Captive
to your silver Lemniscate
the Pain
to which you cleave
the Joy
you push away
the Beginning
with no end
the End
with no beginning
Forever
and Never
Never
and Forever
Despair
and Hope
Hope
and Despair
the Inexorable Loss
you (both) must bear
Alone
but what matter the words of a Mistress
except
perhaps
to another
Mistress
