The Wind

Time slowed as the days got longer,

I was nothing but a leaf in the wind

Going wherever the wind blew me,

She was the wind, who I adored so much,

But as much as I did, I couldn't continue like this,

So I had to change,

What else was I to do in this world?

Rational feelings have no hold on me anymore

He broke me, and tore my hearts to shreds,

The only thing left was her

The flowing wind that seems to never end,

But when it does, she will become the leaf

And I will take her wherever she needs to go

...

But for now, 

She is flying me into hell.
