Triarchy
Perfect triumvirate. You, me, our love,
But passion soon died without majesty,
Muse, as I sit north of the Rubicon,
Recollecting Julius's strategy
Let us cross to a point of no return
Where former foolishnesses lay unmasked,
Let the die be cast, let those thrown die, lie,
Show the falsehoods that peppered our past
Spitefully conniving, you planned and schemed
Shunted goodwill from family and friends
Gaslighted, I accepted your false blame
Now it's my turn to dictate how this ends
Untethered. Will the future guard my truth?
Or be seen, unhinged fundamentally
There is only one course available
Crush quickly. Erase you from memory.
