For the girls tattooed as one. I’m traveling north: beyond the sky. above the horizon, bleak as the night.   I’ll sail amongst the stars, splashing about in their dust to heal these scars. I’m traveling north: to escape fate like moths to flames, I am to blame. I’ll burn my deathbed atop Jupiter’s clouds, floating flames of pyres igniting my soul. I’m traveling north: to preach the testament of a girl abused as a child. Reasons, she’ll never know. I’m traveling north: because of the forgotten warrior: a guardian bruised, stolen from humanity & abandoned to fight for sanity. I’m traveling north: upon the waves of a lion’s roar, the tide of the mighty echo, the righteous, the torn. I’m traveling north diving overboard, cursing the man who sought my freedom for a greater reward.   I’m traveling north: to visit Abigail’s soul, to skip and share secrets with a girl I once shared a home with.   I’m traveling, traveling, traveling traveling, traveling, traveling. A nomad in search of gold.

Traveling North
For the girls tattooed as one. I’m traveling north: beyond the sky. above the horizon, bleak as the night.   I’ll sail amongst the stars, splashing about in their dust to heal these scars. I’m traveling north: to escape fate like moths to flames, I am to blame. I’ll burn my deathbed atop Jupiter’s clouds, floating flames of pyres igniting my soul. I’m traveling north: to preach the testament of a girl abused as a child. Reasons, she’ll never know. I’m traveling north: because of the forgotten warrior: a guardian bruised, stolen from humanity & abandoned to fight for sanity. I’m traveling north: upon the waves of a lion’s roar, the tide of the mighty echo, the righteous, the torn. I’m traveling north diving overboard, cursing the man who sought my freedom for a greater reward.   I’m traveling north: to visit Abigail’s soul, to skip and share secrets with a girl I once shared a home with.   I’m traveling, traveling, traveling traveling, traveling, traveling. A nomad in search of gold.
