When did I change course? Where did you come from? Treacherous water, I was so close to shore, so close to coming home. How did you capture me? Pulling me under, you take me to depths I never thought I’d survive. So suddenly you’ve taken me, left me without direction when all I had were plans. I mapped every detour, every corner so I’d never be left wandering again. It was without a partner I took on this voyage, and with a ward of mine I conquered thirst and hunger. Left no ounce of need and no time for wanting we made our way through nothing and everything. Where did you come from, to change my direction? I am as good off course as I am at the bottom of the sea. Is that where you’re taking me? Why have you left me? A test of love so great, to trust in shadows of promises. In darkness, loneliness, and cold water I am wading. Take me to the center of the sea and leave me waiting.
