I can feel the rope tightening...
Fibers stretching and creaking softly,
Cracking like my aching bones...

Cross the fires that shine like beacons in the distance,
And you will find your true soul someday,
Burned along with the ashes of yesterday,
Of ages long since past,
When once you knew what was in my heart,
But now it yearns, hungers,
Lying ever dormant in the chaos of waiting...

I shall never dare to hope again.

And the self-loathing reigns, as leftover agony,
A shallow and tepid pool of wonders,
As a treasure that can never see the light of day,
For there are none who dare to seek it...

You will never know what lies in a betrayed heart;
You do not deserve to know the truth...


Someday, I know,
Once that someday gets here,
I will be granted my heart's fondest wish;
For what is a wish,
But a dream, inside an illusion, inside an enigma,
Sprinkled with irony
And left to rust in the oceanic rain...?

Tens of thousands of squalls,
And it wouldn't be enough
To quell the ache that emanates from my soul,
Still would not be strong enough
To stop the tsunami that drives me home.

Home...

Someday, I will go home, and you will never touch me again;
And my sunlight will drive out your tainted darkness,
Forever.

These damned chains will break and I will be free.

Then you'll be nothing but a sad little leech
At the end of its leash;
Unable to reach me...
Longing for the only salt that can dry up your bitter tears...
And when you weep for me,
I hope you feel everything that I've been made to feel.

I can't even be trusted to cause you pain;
Not even if a part of me hates a part of you,
Even if the whole world crumbles at my feet,
And not in any way if you were any sort of part of me...

All nonchalance notwithstanding,
Degenerative failure of a colloquial masquerade,
Cognitive mass effect, whence there once was the slightest chance,
At the epiphany of thousands of sadnesses,
Shining down into the deepest traces of my face,
I am the faceless;
Devoid of all emotion, and betraying way too much.

Far too much.
