+ you replied
+ one night
+ when anxiety did haunt
+ my skin, my ligaments, my every bone,
+ wondering when comes my time to return home.Let the seals
+ +
+ be broken; let the truth
+ be revealed!
+ It's been a long time since I let myself feel
+ anything other than monotony, playing the marathon
+ runner in sight of the finish line,
+ the last of the homework
+ or typing 'til midnight.This draconic blood I could never still,
+ +
+ but still I managed to amass myself a hill
+ of words not spoken, not written down,
+ enough to bury me or in them myself drown.
+ For, I must admit, I was planning
+ on being at least somewhat dead by now
+ with no need for verse or musical tone,
+ just coma's deep sleep 'til you come
+ and finally bring me home."You know what kind of future I desire,"
+ +
+ you affirm
+ as I burn
+ on my own funeral pyre
+ over and over again every day,
+ impatient for egress together to Sablade.All the writing guides I've ever read say
+ +
+ that it's kind of like learning to ride a bike.
+ You never really forget, but sometimes
+ you have to get off and go for a hike
+ dragging the damn thing alongside
+ you until the road is flat and smooth again.And sometimes a friend
+ +
+ lends
+ you a hand.I turn my head to the sunsetting sky
+
+ bleeding purple and blue and discarded peach rinds.
+ Half-delirious, you're not far behind
+ me
+ as I hold up my hand to catch the waking breeze.
+ A head on my shoulder, a hand on my belt.
+ "Do you hear the leaves rustling? It's our wealth."

+ +
+ being one person in two bodies.
+ It's surreal to experience bilocality,
+ but I'd miss you something fierce.Even though there are times
+ +
+ when each other we cannot stand,
+ they stand few and far between.
+ There is no deal that can be dealt by the divine
+ to make me discard this life of ours newly began.You said it once before, and it still rings true:
+ +
+ "Lethe, I don't want to ever lose you."
+ And lose me you would if you let me subsume
+ into your heart when pangs
+ the pains of existence yet again.In emergency I gave you part of my soul.
+ +
+ Does that mean we won't ever again be alone?
+ Maybe in some sense. But in others I hope
+ you get as much time
+ to by yourself unwind
+ every night when from work you come home.I love you, you know. And I only want
+
+ that you get as much freedom as you've always sought.
+ And if with me's the future
+ you've always desired,
+ there's no need to yearn - it you've already got.
