Dear Sophie

By eske

I will for now and ever be alone. Thank you.
Good luck in the future. Don't sympathize.
I find it rare for you to empathize but your apathy
will serve me well. To be loyal and discarded was my life.
Now when I have everything I always wanted, the freedom.
There's nobody to share it with. The earth is all I have.
I will never love a woman as much as I love my mother.
I will never love a possession as much as I love art.
I will never love a gift as much as I love my faith.
Nothing will ever stop me, my visions are clear.
I can see the colors I need, speak the right words.
There was one last girl I loved, I was loyal and made sure..
always that I was there as often as I could.
Though I try hard to forget, though I try so hard
my heart always feels freshly broken.
I never expected anything to go the way it went.
I bless you and your life. Your love and your lover.
You will hear from me someday, somewhere, when you walk across
shadows on the floors. When you go through your individual hardships.
When your heart suffers like mine once did. My voice will only
say that once I loved a woman. A woman that was just a girl.
I have everything I always wanted, just nobody to share it with.
