There is no choice of whom my soul will fall in battle for, and my heart of which ascends to a clime that meets no surcease
This corporeal form of which contains such frailty will continue to squirm under the pressure of life’s thumb, though it was you who buried the ax in my chest; and this ax was not just any other, it was laced with an infectious taste of freedom, it pervaded within me just before you decided to heave it from my chest and make your way onto your own voyage, leaving one man marooned from thy former being
How can one navigate thyself from a place thy just so recently came cross to?
Maybe I was merely wandering and you were beautifully, tragically lost
“Avast!” I yelled. “Return! Why must you leave?”
Was there any acquiesce among your haste journey? Did your heart once feel the need to speak to your brain and implore the consideration of shifting the sails; could you feel the helm in your hands, and the reprieve in your heart as you imagine turning back?
I scream to the heavens! I entreat the return of my sanity! of my love!
My sustenance dwindles under the heavy absence of your touch,
my grasp of self ebbs further and further away from the shore of enlightenment, soon to be engulfed into a sea of where there is no resting place,
a sea of which you either drown, relinquishing your sight and volition, decaying silently, alone beneath the waves
you learn to float, laying on your back as the current takes your mind away into a dream of better lands and later days, regaining consciousness for an ephemeral moment while sprawled in a sopping shroud of repent, looking bleakly up to the sky just before your eyes roll back and return to the dreams that these waves have induced upon you
And so, to the man of whom marooned me on a far shore that I have not the means to navigate, I hope you know that after you left me here, after all these years of passing, I have not died,
although, you might as well have- as you turned your back and sailed away on your precious ship - enveloped me in a linen shroud of forsook, dropped me in my sepulcher of protracted agony, of which my body is dead and my mind is exiled to a land where you remain the sinew of my soul- my lovely, aching appendage of whom I rue my lasting inebriation for
