Forbidden

The wind blows torrents through my body, rip across the veil of miles and hours I somehow cannot give.
Climaxed in the One I failed to be.
I wait among the driving rain, hidden in the shadows, drenched and unaware.
The time is at hand.

You once danced black against the barrier of my soul - so unabashed in your love that I could withhold from you nothing. I delve too deeply. You see, and yet you don't see, the cast expanse that I am willing to let go. Older songs speak the words we cannot run from. The color hides the terror...
The knock of death and the temptation to be still.
One step ensues the chaos.

There was a dream of worlds not so strange; security in the solitude. I did not see the coming storm. Break lose the tie that no longer meditates over my mind. I linger, embracing the pain, welcoming the ice, the peaceful fear of standing in this... the echo of myself.
No one but you will ever hear me.
Find me in the river's overflowing banks, forgotten in my decision not to flee.
