Abandonment

The darkness of your soul is like a menace to our lives,
and yet there is no evil in that darkness,
only an entrapment in your self
that threatens you much more than anybody else.
No wonder you are hopelessly nomadic,
seeking constantly to get away from your shortcomings,
limiting yourself by closing up your feelings,
trying to escape from the dilemma of a personality
that has too many anchors in the past
to ever get across the sea.

The more you try to get away,
the more you will get wounded by your fetters.
You just have to face the music,
let the curtain up, forget about yourself,
deny yourself, allow yourself to get away from it
and finally allow yourself your feelings.
Yes, get overwhelmed, cry out,
you need it, it will do you good,
and I will help you cry and share your tears
and mix your feelings with my own.
Thus shall we never leave each other
but together drown in blissful abysses
of totally forgetting all about ourselves.
