His and Hers, Not Yours, So Go Away

Little teapot
Tipped
All her glassy
Life away

Shattering cups
Spilled
All his
Blood away

Drinking lips
Corked
All her thirst
Quenched away

Shadowy candles
Extinguished
All his burns
Cooled away

Sirius faces
Exploded
All her stars
Fly
Celestially away

Fairy queens
Died
All his troubles
Conjured away

Etymology
In one stanza
But in every
Other his, her,
And certainly,
AWAY

Idiosyncratic poem
Ended
All her thoughts
Unclear,
Still not
Any nearer
Just further away

Away, Away, Away
Such a word
Deserves its own line
Said thrice
Doesn’t make it go away
