Ablaze Spring 2025 2

(Ac)quit

Violet Rose

To my longest love, your sweet silhouette Haunts my days, my dreams, each and every breath.

The wisest man tells me I should forget, But forgetting my past would lead to death. The option of you sits there on my shelf. So, I know it’s always my choice to delve Into the darkness where I lost myself Using your glow. My attempt to absolve. My resolve. Choices like you turn to ash. They use words like quit, but alack, alas… I don’t quit; you’re just a check I can’t cash. So, tribute to you sits, looking so crass.

It’s an illusion, this powerlessness. But you’ll have your say the day I regress.
