Love, my love, beloved paramour..

Once uttered with weight

As heavy as lead

And anchored me to your ground

Where I took refuge

Under the brightest of suns

Which I myself had created

But now the weight

Bore by these words

Rests their lead on my throat

And the sun that lifted me to such great heights

Has asphyxiated itself

And I plummet towards jagged rocks

Jutting straight from the terrain

At staggering heights

I fall, and I fall

Trying to convince myself that I’m a meteor

The rocks give way and I’m plunged into the icy ocean

Its violent waters swallow me whole

And the lead from your lips drags me deep

I feel pressure all around

I thrash about in a desperate attempt

But there is no light, which way towards life?

Surrender they beckon, they call

I follow

Invader, traitor, isolated adversary..

Once ignored, suppressed

As light as starlight

Kept far from inquisitive eyes

From which I ran

Over the great mountains

Which I myself had destroyed
