I'm a little behind (thanks to a lovely visit from out-of-town family), so I am attempting to catch up.
"absence"
absence reigns like a bastard king
who cut down the royal family
to steal the power of the throne
cruel and cold and unjust and
so unfortunately
obvious
flaunting his rings of forgetting
his diadem of disputing
his robes of not-caring
he drives through the city streets
surrounded by his silent, steadfast army
blocking the pathways at every turn
blocking my way to
you
absence is a cruel king
and your tryst with him makes me
hate him even more
