Into The West
Previous - this entry written on at - Next
Lay down, your sweet and weary head. Night is falling. You have come to journey�s end.Sleep now, and dream of the ones who came before. They are calling, from across a distant shore. Why do you weep? What are these tears upon your face? Soon you will see. All of your fears will pass away. Safe in my arms, you�re only sleeping. What can you see, on the horizon? Why do the white gulls call? Across the sea, a pale moon rises. The ships have come, to carry you home. And all will turn, to silver glass. A light on the water. All souls pass. Hope fades, Into the world of night. Through shadows falling, Out of memory and time. Don�t say, We have come now to the end. White shores are calling. You and I will meet again. And you�ll be here in my arms, Just sleeping. What can you see, on the horizon? Why do the white gulls call? Across the sea, a pale moon rises. The ships have come, to carry you home. And all will turn, to silver glass. A light on the water. Grey ships pass Into the West. I miss you so much tonight... miss you in ways I don't think I could dare to say to you, were you here beside me. Weakness. Foolish. Pointless. Undeniable. Overwhelming. Endless. I miss you like I would miss cool water on my lips, a breeze to cool my skin, the taste of blood, the sound of my own heartbeat... or the sound of yours. Even that simple sound, I can remember it. My memory constantly fails me, but I can remember the sound of your heartbeat as we held each other. I no longer wonder if there was some way to make this less painful. I guess it's progress. I sometimes go entire weeks without waking up suddenly, turning to look at you, reaching... ...and you're not there. If I told this to you, you'd assume I was just pouring out pretty words, or trying to somehow mindfuck you into something, or... gods, I don't even have TIME to list all the things I suspect with some justificaton you'd think. The simple fact is that I am still left hollow without you. I wish it were otherwise; I pray it never changes. I couldn't bear forgetting you. I love you. I miss you. My computer is being moved over from the condo tonight. My mind is rather unpleasantly shadowed. Meh. And YES, I'm taking the anti-depressants still. This is me on painkillers, antidepressants, seizure medication, blood pressure medication... I should be relaxed, happy, comfortable. Instead I'm tense, aching, melancholy, and still in enough pain that walking across a room leaves me with spots in my vision and my spine on fire for a good half-hour. Tell me that's not fucked up. *sigh*
