Forced on an island
With no resources
Except my laptop
And the power of my will.
I plan
I learn
I teach
I scream…
I am alone
Despite being connected
Constant Contact
Back and forth
With no resolution.
Deserted, abandoned
My body
My hope
My will to continue this game.
Embrace my absence
As I embark on my own journey
Leaving this island behind
You will never see me again.
I’ve never seen you before,
I don’t know you-
And yet
If you told me
You see me
Like the silver lining
On your ever present
Gloomy cloud
You hear me
Like the wind
Whispering the secrets
Of life into your ear
You feel me
Like your heartbeat
As your blood rushes
Through your veins
You know me
Like the abandoned home
You lived in through your adolescence
With the fondest memories
I’d drop
e v e r y t h i n g
Leave it all (behind)
At the chance
Of running away with you
For the rest
Of
Our
Lives.
