Dear You,
The universe has finally granted your wish.
You are free and no longer encumbered by the weight of my love.
I was waiting for the last ray of sunshine to hit the earth's surface before I buried our union,
and somewhere it is midnight
and somewhere it is winter
and somewhere my memories are fading.
So this is a requiem for that dead part of your soul
And this is a eulogy for that part of me that housed our affection.
Forgive me if I continue to echo the rhythm of your heartbeat for it is only temporary.
I will wrap myself in silence once the moon dust settles.
And I will no longer attach myself to the hollow your soul attempts to disguise as righteousness.
And I will no longer kill myself in order to protect your inconsistencies.

You are not worth the price of my life.
And I cannot afford the toll of my soul,
and somewhere it is midnight
and somewhere it is winter
and somewhere my memories are fading.

Now how many times must the sun set before that the day is over?
I could dream of making love to rainbows while collecting raindrops in my navel.
Hoping to one day give birth to sunshine.
Or I could spend 5 lifetimes alone and running through sandy beaches in search of my solitude.
But I will no longer tell you that I love you 5000 times in 5000 seconds.
I have no room for that emptiness, and I refuse to insult your dishonesty by reflecting truth.
For you are not worth the price of my life, and you cannot afford the toll of my soul
and somewhere it is midnight
and somewhere it is winter
and somewhere my memories are fading.

Will I continue to ignore The Creator's whisper as He tells me to run and save myself?

Even if my arrogance speaks loudly of saving you, I know that my tears will do little to quench your desires.
So I will walk away and not look back
As Sodom and Gomorrah borrow fire from hell to baptize your existence.
And I will reject the appeal of martyrdom that attracts a moth to a flame.
And I will sing loudly that final song after the death of silence.
And I will refuse to come to you in the form of a memory just to be welcomed into your future.
For you are not worth the price of my life.
And you cannot afford the toll of my soul.
So this is a requiem for my belief in you.
And this is the eulogy for that part of me that watched over you protectively for centuries.

I am much too tired.
And you have made me much too cold,
and somewhere it is midnight
and somewhere it is winter
and somewhere my memories are fading.

My love for you is dying.
I have said goodbye to yesterday.
And I will ever welcome tomorrow
The Universe has finally granted your wish-
And mine.
