i used to marvel at the palpable love between two souls who were rooted in each other but that wonder has been replaced by sickness **** it all i will say it here and now for myself and all those who cannot admit it themselves i am deeply ill and nothing short of salvation can mend my shattered spirit i am adrift in open water waiting for you to throw the life preserver but i know you have already promised redemption for another so it is here i will float until my body cannot take the beating from the waves any longer or until the cold saps all my strength and i sink mercilessly into the jaws of the deep having the ocean eat my bones sounds better than leaving them to be worn slowly away by hope
