And because I felt so unwell, I'd been living like a hermit.

Is just the way, everything is it,

Fleshing forward all my life

Maybe I should have used that knife,

I moved silently 

I was trying to think clearly,

I had to get away from here, it take at least a day

The sea around me was absolutely deserted; some boats were returning to land, but I kept away.



(I was trying to rhyme, the last part didn't come out so well, but oh well I felt like writing a poem 🦊)

And because I felt so unwell, I'd been living like a hermit.


Wondering and dreaming of days that I've convinced myself will never come.


My head ached, my stomach turned.


Not once did that door open; not once did I see her running in or hear her calling for me.


Every inch of me hurt in ways I could never describe; ways I could feel and touch and see.


The desperation seemed to consume my every moment, my every thought.


The waters, sparkling and free, declare her beauty.


Noise and silence; rain and sunshine; shackles and... restraints.


The sea around me was absolutely deserted; some boats were returning to land, but I kept away.
