Long sedative ride,
Harrowingly sweet.
It hurts me so,
To watch you grow;
To see you go
On for an adventure!
Some unknown venture
Into a future
Beyond iridescent curtains,
Where we are no longer certain.
Leaving these petals in the dust ー
My love, I have come to rust!
In a withering web, I've been cast;
I stand to fend off
A journey reaching its end.
As I eye your certainty:
A longing to be free.
I alone should bear this hefty fee
If my beloved would come to be!
And I will remain ー Not belonging, but still
Longing.

Long sedative ride,
Harrowingly sweet.
It hurts me so,
To watch you grow;
To see you go
On for an adventure!
Some unknown venture
Into a future
Beyond iridescent curtains,
Where we are no longer certain.
Leaving these petals in the dust ー
My love, I have come to rust!
In a withering web, I've been cast;
I stand to fend off
A journey reaching its end.
As I eye your certainty:
A longing to be free.
I alone should bear this hefty fee
If my beloved would come to be!
And I will remain ー Not belonging, but still
Longing.
