Metallic words gain no luster
upon your putrid lips.
But daggers graze my silkweed skin
petrifying the livid phrase "Love, Hope, Live".
As it is to be eternally borne
to memorialize this day.
So I will evoke,
every abysmal year,
the fidelity that you stole away.

Darkly done... in keeping with the prompt. I love the feelings you evoke with your words... the bitterness which explain the mutilation and the memories... very well done! Best of luck...
