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.
