Forsaken

I dwell amongst demons and shadows

Far from you, my prophet and sage

Because of your love I have walked on water

Though refused to drink of it

For you I have travelled to the depths of hell

When in your kiss I tasted the glory of heaven

In this haunting abyss

The voice of condition is a persistent reminder

Of what I have forsaken,

And in the profound waters that surround my being,

I am missing among the dead

No salvation or escape from this doom

And as a flower during a thunderstorm,

I struggle to keep my poise

Punisher and savior

Your love is like torrential rain,

Sustaining me and yet death looms in your downpour

Our unspoken agreement reason for my drought

You were once my guide and yet with you I am lost,

I have sacrificed our love to give you wings

And with those, I watch you fly away from where I am traveling

You were once my dream-like reality

But for your existence, I must remain in this nightmare  

I have granted my soul to the bleakness of my doubts

And today my destiny is to wander in limbo

Now a wall exists between two cosmos that once were one

And as musical notes echo in the background,

I contemplate what paths you roam without me

Forced to let go of our love,

My spirit endures, while my mortal breath departs,

Tears fall upon eternity, one without your love

I still sense your timeless presence within

As your undying light illuminates the dark sea I often part

As time stands still as if waiting,

Anticipating our unattainable reunion

Hopeless I face this damned, empty existence

As I can only be whole in you as you are boundless in me

And my only treasure is a glimpse,
A memory of a fate now out of reach

And as I took I must give

Trusting the Universe has its reasons for my sorrow

Eternally yours, though I no longer belong anywhere

As you knew me once without knowing my name

In that bitter-sweet, serendipitous encounter

For love has ordained us no tomorrows

Forevermore I face this hollow eternity

One without you

My once perpetual mystery,

My proverbial love,

My one still relentless uncertainty

As I navigate without a compass toward the infinite horizon,

I float above an ocean of our renounced love

Chaos, gloom and regret are my only passengers

But as I surrender to my fears, I become weightless

And as I let go of my inner torment, I sense your presence once again

Only then do I recognize you, my warrior of light,

Your devotion unlocks the gate I have yearned to enter all my life

No longer condemned, I move peacefully towards your song

And as your drops fall diligently on me,

I find shelter in the gentleness of your rain,

My supple roots at last rejoice,

And forevermore I stand in awe of the shear vastness of your storm.
