I can not conceive of the endless piles
Riga-mortis set into the soul.
Deafening, oblique melancholy,
A weight which anchors
While a panic trembles-
Anxiety's crutch,
The breath which currents in me shaking hands.
Stamina in defeat.
Choices weigh up in unviable options.
And my world has already caved in upon me.
Dwelt then, I have surrendered, aimless;
The path of my totality,
an open and drifting sea.
Completely at the mercy of my Creator-
Doesn't matter how good any deed...
as I am not some.
Comfort will not be given,
By some one miracle or testament of faith.
I do not get a sweet tale to tell,
One short epic, and any happy ending to follow.
That will not be mine.
Mine is another.
Mine is the story of no miracle given
Worth while.
A piece of property worked to the bone-
No salvation in this life;
Not for me.
By no fault anymore than our race to our slaver
It would not be
A story of saving grace.
If I didn't know any better; the feeling is akin to
God's abandonment.
Sacrifice and duty, for only the cost of one soul-
"My Child".
A venom taking over my body,
mascarading as death.
In paralysis, some haulted stench of dismay and uncertainty-
A defication smothering the last semblance of light.
A surrender, then
To my enemies.
My life given over to them.
Made irrelevant.
To enslave,
The noble girl.
But not before she had a chance to taste her fate, in Divinity's hands,
and granted, anointed
She was.
Years stripped away dreams.
No love, in the castle cast upon her.
She was whittled down
not even good in a forced life of servitude
For her captures sneered only of envy;
Soley was their enthusiasm,
To snuff out any confidence
She kept for herself,
as if still somehow,
An ultimate threat.
Her days, mine-
Grew timeless. Haunted. Restless.
No savior.
Only piles now.
Only the occupancy of her soul
To another.
And without her Light
All stamina she had, carried no force.
She was whittled now.
Down to shaking bones, and quietude's.
A shell of subservience,
Because in this world,
She mattered not.
Here then, I take only what is given,
No token to my blood or name.
An orphan now.
A stripped and nameless servant
That my enemies parade.
