Resignation

Downing milk like gin
sleep fails me again
due to a heavy heart,
an alliance torn apart

This hallow night aides
as the darkness invades
your half of our flame
now doused by my shame

I toyed with your hand
like I did with our plans
their undoing, my fault
wounds laced with salt

I loved you; still do
but there is more to you
than this tragic little town
and me holding you down
