Yes Mr. Hemingway you are right. I have sat at this desk and bled, but how much must I bleed before I can cry?
All this time I have been distant, and confused the stockpiling of distance with strength. Pain, blinded me: I could not see that instead I was building on weak foundations. Everything collapsed.
Now I am strength-less and can break nothing, and not myself. I want so desperately to break these banks which hold poisoned-water; to cleanse my mind with my body. But they move awkwardly past each other- as if they were once close friends who have since drifted apart. I need them to say: Hey my friend I have missed you; why did we stand by and watch such a beautiful thing suffocate, and die? I need them to hold each other, in an embrace to bring back to life all lost embraces - heads in each other's shoulders, as if heads and shoulders were only ever for this moment. I need them to cry: relentlessly; not a moment spared for Sorry; tears say enough.
A year of loneliness, and distance, and idled youth.
