Condemned.
Denounced to a life of pure misery.
Complete unjust wretchedness.

Feet dancing along the floor.
Arms arms being pulled in opposing directions.
Dark eyes confused on where to face.

For so long, lovers.
For so little, friends.
Forever lost.

Unknowing of one another's existence.
My absent naivety tearing at my insides
My dissolving ignorance scratching at my head.

The doubt and uncertainty among my organs was not scarce
My heart not knowing when to beat.
My brain not knowing when to think.

A fierce battle it became.
My body a war zone
A crusade between sentiment

Why, was no question.
Answers were so unclear
Asking why only made for more questions.

This way
That way
Which way?

Appendages pulled back and forth
Skeleton becoming weaker and weaker
Heart and mind becoming tired

It's over.
Limbs lay tired along the floor
Detached from the body

Heart laying outside the chest
Beating its last beats
Stop.

Mind pounded through the cracked skull
Nerves jumped violently
Stop.

Blood slowly meanders
Blood from the heart.
Blood from the mind.

They intertwine.
The mesh
They become one.

Mind and body connect
Mind and body
Body and mind

Soul lifts as mind and body gaze
Eyes now clear and blue
Condemnation to life is ceased.
