( • torment • )

She turns her back to me

Deaf to my call, blind to my warning

Her path towards the ocean

Awaiting to cradle her

No longer will I stand in torment

Turning my back against the truth

To fall in the same fate as her

I raise my staff to the stars

Our home burning bright

And I swing it from my side

Releasing its weight from my grasp

With the burdens of my mistakes

It spins to her

Violent and bold

And she turns once more

To face me

The ocean blue in her eyes

Sparkling into diamonds

As the light of the staff

Threatens her swiftly

She reaches out

And catches it

The light of the staff

Spreading out like wildfire

And pulsing out with rage

The light of a million stars

Coiled around the staff

Held frozen in her grasp

And so, my world at last

Finds its fractures

As the tower beyond me

Shatters

The gravity of the tower

The sounds of the people

The ocean, the storm

Melted with my thoughts

Swirling into oblivion

For what I see now

No longer exists

And is a mere dream

To what I wish

I still had

The tears of the skies

Hold to the shards of chandeliers

The tower tilting to the ocean

That will bury my longing heart

And hold a reunion to yours

And as gravity pulls me forward

My body lifts from the luxury

The solace of light and hope

And I remain once more

Drifting in my own head

I must piece myself back together

But not without you

The shards surround us

And you fall through the fountain

Your weight thrusting to the ocean

As the tower drags us down

My foundation lost to the sea

Of my nightmares

I reach out to you

My hand out to save you

And as we near each other

Your reach beneath mine

I feel the shards begin to tilt

Shifting to my control

Returning to one another

As I piece myself together

And take control

When you had it all along
