THE LIGHT OF THE SEVEN

 

"It wasn't my wounds that needed healing...I'm a different person now. I've found peace in the light of the Seven. You can too. They watch over all of us, ready to dole out mercy, or justice. Their world is at hand."

―Lancel to Cersei Lannister

 

The Light of the Seven

 

Not the wounds

That need healing

Not the slurs

That keep repeating

The cuts

Still bleeding

What lies within

Inside, beneath

That lurks

Unending.

 

 

Nothing left,

Not the

Contrite

Abrasions

Never ceasing,

The lesions

Entrenched, scarring.

Nothing but this,

A tempest

Mundane, garish

The loud constant

Unyielding.
