Lilith

I remember

Quiet you, meek and chiselled-horned you

I remember

Growing you, steady long-necked you

I remember

Laughing you, shining rose-bedecked you

I remember

Loving you, glowing candle-lit you

I remember

Grieving you, screaming metal-faced you

I remember

Loyal you, frozen winter-masked you

I remember

Empty you, armoured broken-hearted you

I remember

You.

I will never forget.
