equality lost

April 28, 2008

on common ground we once stood,
heads held high, hearts lifted higher,
chasing after a dream many never would.
but somewhere along our road there,
you fell to a lower place, a different pace;
that which we shared was not enough,
yet you continued to (ab)use my love.
this life that you have chosen over me
is nowhere I ever intend to be.
this heart may bear scars of your mistake,
but i’ll leave this love, and you to your fate;
i’ll go, and shake the dust of you from my feet.

mark 6.10-11
