Pacing the floor
In aimless discomposure
On such tender pins and needles
Calm into calamity
The need to focus
Time lingers and ebbs
She won't take part
Nearing the moment of decision
In a dream, she leaves suddenly
To the place farthest from me
Always out of reach
In a dream, she died unexpectedly
Aspirations unfinished
I call to you desperately
But you won't hear me
Your castle walls sprawl interminably
I must suffer the reach
Vast swaths of thorn and thicket
Lands unpaced by those bewitched of her love
The distance, the journey, is merciless
Longing to bridge the recess
—For reconciliation
For the yolk of unity to sever us together
To bring, to gather us into order
Into our detriment
Nearing the moment of collision
Pins become implements of incision
To rend faithless flesh
Revealing an unfaithful heart
Restless obsession, unconscionable dereliction
The need quickens to be near you
Restless obsession
Hooks of pining bear their pangs
The nook of lust bears its fangs
Death is the distance through which I must die
Time is the coffin in which I lie
I solely wanted to be near you
Now I desire to consume you
She won't take part
Your castle walls sprawl interminably
I must suffer the reach
Vast swaths of thorn and thicket
Lands unpaced by those bewitched of her love
The distance, the journey, is merciless
Longing to bridge the recess
—For reconciliation
For the yolk of unity to sever us together
To bring, to gather us into order
Into our detriment
I try to bridge the distance
But you won't hear me
