The Departure
My mind, my body, my soul
Whole and plentiful
But yours an abyss
I escape to when I'm bored.
You draw me in, create nothing of their wisdom
They warned me not to go near you
I told them to hear me out
I'd shout the place down
And all you'd do is frown
With scorn, I'd follow you into the depths of the night
To the grave yard of my plight, your pallid skin never frightened me, but your thirst for blood terrified me.
You reduced me to tears, laughter and righteousness.
You hit me, I kissed you.
You loved me, I missed you.
To them you were messed up, to me you were perfect.
Or should I say twisted
They enlisted you on the day of May 7th
I cried until I couldn't
Laughed until I shouldn't
You merely kissed my shoulder and sighed
Forever, until forever became nothing.
June 30th, you were gone. I became ashes and smoke, you awoke with purpose and pleasure.
With censure I let you go, I spent my nights longing for your presence
Your essence, your soul, your failings, your belonging.
But you only belonged in the underworld, shades of darkness and the eerie.
Every now and then, I query your existence,
But all they say is nothing. I died with your last breath on earth.
I was resurrected with your pain.
