Quicksilver
You're quicksilver
You glimmered in my eyes
When we first met
It seemed you traded flesh and
Blood for ivory and ichor.
You stained everything you touched
With your moon-like glow
Even me.
The mark you've left in my
Heart still shines in the darkest
Night
A reminder that you had moved on
In my hands you were solid and
Complete. You engulfed me
A silver sea
And filled the empty void within
But I shifted, just a bit to let you
In
And you broke
Away
From me.
Drops at first, you tumbled from my
Hands like a roaring river.
As quickly as you came, you
Were gone. All you left was a
Small pearl in my palm—
The same pearl I embedded
In my heart, a small memory
Of when you loved me.
You're Quicksilver
And you're poison.
You rot me from the inside out.
My heart, my body
My soul
Cry out for you in silence.
On the days I'm able to scream,
I damn you to Hell with all the
Gods I know.
I feel worse, after those episodes
Since I know you're alive and well
No god would harm you.
I slip that pearl in my mouth each
Night and let it sit on my tongue.
It tastes like blood and wine.
The pearl dwindles away as
My pain grows.
You're Quicksilver and
You're killing me.
But it would be a lie
If I said I hated you.
