your breath changes as the wind
swept away to a place I cannot see
drained as the pipes
my eyes betray me

the self is at stake
I can no longer hold my own
you, locked away in a castle tower
eternally trapped, yet eternally free
relations are strained by force
my sincerest apologies to you
and again, my eyes betray me

as you are taken from me
I shall also part from you
this is my greatest guilt
forever I am sorry
and forever my eyes betray me
