Your heart shines with
an onyx sheen
pretty in its dark;
Its mean

Sharp as glass
ripping to shreds
any remaining
hopeful shreds

Mirror the violence
The angry world
Caught in the shell
like a dark pearl

Like the void
it draws me close
and swallows all
I used to know

If any toss love
in that pit
the well will only
devour it
