The Theater of Unbecoming- Act XX
Seasonal Reflections.
To the outside, the autumn of the soul is but falling leaves, and naked stems. But what you saw was a salted raw wound bleeding on the inside with pus oozing to the outside. Youāve always had the power to see beneath the masks I wore, even when Iāve crafted them anew.
In the autumn of the soul, I lost as I rode the shifting tides and watched fragments of myself drown with the ebb and flow. I set sail in hopes of stumbling upon this Brave New Love. Now, I look for reasons behind reason to reason with the cyclical torment that I have arrived to; heartbreak.
To the outside, the winter of the soul is but grey skies, and freezing lakes. But what you did was irreproachable. You reached deep beneath the rubble to extract what was left of me, breaking my facade.
In the winter of the soul, I shattered my remnants. I arrived at the mirage of peace, and I had to let go. I let an illusion guide me for so long that I lost faith in what I am, and put faith in what was. I was trapped beneath all the dreams that lost color, and the faithful faith I put in the faithless. I was once again the faithful hopeless romantic.
To the outside, the spring of the soul is a blossom. But since youāve helped me arrive at my spring, what care do I have to the outside?
