our elegy – an elegy for us

Words: Katie Vince (she/they)

what once was ours

is now fading to blue

so, what will i be?

in the absence of you

the love that i have

is now going to waste

what about yours,

who gets a taste?

your touch, perished

still it’s all that i crave

but, where can i go?

we don’t have a grave

our love was short

bittersweet, now too

still i’ll sit and wonder

will it always be you?
