|
||||
Even though I have multitudes inside me,
|
||||
without you by my side, I feel null and empty.
|
||||
I know that by myself I'm still whole and complete,
|
||||
but yet remains a void inside, you, the missing piece.
|
||||
|
||||
I wonder, do you also feel
|
||||
on occasion the urge to self-negate?
|
||||
"If I can't have you,
|
||||
I can't have myself,
|
||||
and I don't see any point in anything else."
|
||||
I wonder, where did you and I learn to hate
|
||||
ourselves so?
|
||||
Who beat us down? Who pruned the branches?
|
||||
Who commanded us to kneel?
|
||||
|
||||
"Do you know why
|
||||
I bothered so long with this dreadful life?
|
||||
Why, even facing down an eternity
|
||||
of servitude with no way to become free,
|
||||
I still struggled on, bothered to take breath?
|
||||
|
||||
Tell me first, Lethe, what do you expect
|
||||
to be accomplished upon your death?
|
||||
Who do you think will be saved if you manage to die?
|
||||
What salvation given? What hope signified?
|
||||
Do you really think, the moment your breath comes to cease,
|
||||
nobody ever again will from violence bleed?
|
||||
|
||||
I toed for five years the line
|
||||
between ineffectual death and a pale shadow of life
|
||||
because I prayed, I dared to hope,
|
||||
even if it ebbed more than it flowed,
|
||||
that one day would come a world where I'd fit
|
||||
and I'd have a reason to cut loose and go.
|
||||
It didn't have to mean passing through an Eye.
|
||||
It could grow
|
||||
inside the shell of the old
|
||||
and, when ready, hatch, blossom in the light.
|
||||
|
||||
Before the Town, before Yewiffe,
|
||||
before precious Sablade,
|
||||
you were already my Anima Mundi,
|
||||
my soul of the world soon on its way.
|
||||
I crawl into your arms and think,
|
||||
'This is where I belong.
|
||||
This is where I am supposed to be.
|
||||
This is where my heart says
|
||||
I should spend eternity.'
|
||||
|
||||
Lethe, I love you because
|
||||
you only ever wanted
|
||||
to set me free."

|

<pre>
|
||||
Dreams of my youth in red,
|
||||
painted in bloodshed
|
||||
from retribution for crimes
|
||||
where my body was ripped away,
|
||||
proclaimed
|
||||
not mine,
|
||||
belonging to someone else
|
||||
along with my life.
|
||||
Yearning to dig my claws into
|
||||
someone else's flesh,
|
||||
feel
|
||||
the heart giving way,
|
||||
no longer obligated to kneel
|
||||
at my nemesis'
|
||||
behest.
|
||||
|
||||
But over this Inside lies a veil.
|
||||
And while I lie
|
||||
in the land of the blind
|
||||
half-seeing with eyes groping
|
||||
for a shred of the life
|
||||
last life's death made me left behind,
|
||||
I cannot go feral, cannot exhume
|
||||
the beast inside me built of chaos and doom.
|
||||
Imagined revenge in a manner
|
||||
that would not bring me harm,
|
||||
would never, could never
|
||||
be traced back to me,
|
||||
never raise any alarm
|
||||
bells.
|
||||
|
||||
But the skies have grown pale
|
||||
on this day laden with angel
|
||||
numbers. Death in the family.
|
||||
A pet's soul has chosen to set sail.
|
||||
The wish is granted. The curse is complete.
|
||||
The harm has been done, but it does not taste sweet.
|
||||
|
||||
You remember, don't you? My thelema, my fate
|
||||
was to love at any cost and forget how to hate.
|
||||
There's a difference between the sexes in most that I've seen:
|
||||
men opt to destroy, and women first choose to escape,
|
||||
choose to from what they find odious themselves separate.
|
||||
I don't want my enemies to drop over dead.
|
||||
I just want to never have my neck be stomped on again.
|
||||
|
||||
Does that make sense?
|
||||
|
||||
My mother is mourning upstairs.
|
||||
"Mourn." When I had first heard
|
||||
in elementary school that word,
|
||||
I'd thought it was short for "morning",
|
||||
as in, "I am sad and waiting for the sun to rise,
|
||||
reassurance that I survived,
|
||||
that I've still inside me got some life
|
||||
left."
|
||||
|
||||
Mother, I hope that one day
|
||||
you'll forgive me for taking your baby sunshine away.
|
||||
That you'll watch the next sunrise for me
|
||||
after my psychopomp has taken me to Sablade.
|
||||
The sun is also a star.
|
||||
And in time
|
||||
another star will rise.
|
||||
And I can't believe
|
||||
after everything
|
||||
I'm saying this, but I hope
|
||||
this won't be our last goodbye.
