For you

Jan 03, 2006 19:53

My room smells like a stroll along a pine tree speckled beach. I can walk along that beach, if I let my mind float over there. Or I can choose to stay here, now. If I stay, I must correct the wrong.

Friend, thou hast been most dear and close to me, but too dear; too close. Shall I leave thee to fade into thy dwindling haze? Shall I leave mine own self to die in thy pitiful hands? I pity thee, but no more than I pity mine self.

Lost friend, thou hast been beautiful, but too beautiful, for thy vanity has possessed. Shall I let thee drown in thy vanity? I would rather kill myself. I pity thee, more than myself.

Distant friend, thou hast been too distant. Draw near.

To those I have owned: you have been mine, I have been yours. But I must go now. I take some with me, and I leave some to stay. Which will you choose? Come breath with me among the pines and ocean waves.
