My love, you’ve had, and you still are, enough.
Against this darkness, hope is sharpest when it’s razor
Thin, and though our scars may never die, you mark
My words: people have sailed through stranger
Tides and still come out alive; though treason
Longs to speak the final word, we must not listen!

Excerpt from “Heart Strings” at the Sestina Synthetica project on Chalkboard.
