---

In this rightful place.

I can't break free.

I can't break free, I'm drowning.

Drowning in this wake.

Caged in this hell of silence.

A silent reverence.

Reverence binding me, to hopelessness.

A thousand days, and more have passed.

And I'm still here.

Walled into solitude with dying hope.

Such is my need.

A perfect vision before me.

Engulf my sight, I'm blind.

Breath escaped and would not return.

Frozen, words take flight.

In a moment I saw it all.

Nurturing the seed of my salvation.

Countless hours along, with my need.

Each departure laced with hesitation.

A lack of light.

Uncertainty.

A yearning.

Countless moments passed.

I only needed one.

Forever a ghost.

Unspoken.

Unseen.

Purest devotion.

Haunt me.
