Remains

Weighted lids, though heavy, won't close.

Waited, and hoped,

Prayed, for you.

Preyed on me

Hear my heart's rhythm and beat

Here I am, rubble. I've crumbled, watch your feet.

Once I was lifted

Twice I was warned (that fall is too high!)

Three times I scorned at the idea of release

And us being through, no... Deny, deny, deny.
