Holding Atropos

Holding Atropos
(Grey)

Maybe I haven't been all that honest.
Maybe I wasted my time.
A sudden kindness.

At the last,
find myself hanging on here
This is the end I had planned.

Bring me love.
Bring me this quiet breathing.
Hand by hand
Counting the end of my rope.

I still have hope.

With these words,
my fight ends. I deserve no
more than I've made for myself
Glass stones in the well.

This has been the only love I've ever known.
Whispering a goodbye.
