Creation looks at me,

Painfully frozen in place

A tear flowing down her soft cheek

I kiss her lips

She is standing behind me

Flowing, moving, free,

Unbound by the expectations

I used to capture her

"I am not who you believe me to be,"

She says to me

Eyes shrouded in darkness

Hair falling past her shoulders to the floor

I stare at my creation

Her gentle, happy eyes

Her short, bright hair

I smile with joy

She is still behind me

"Let me go, or I will leave without you

This is your final chance

Your one way out

Do you forsake all that you have learned?

You are far greater than me, so you say,

And yet I stand here, unbound,

Free to do as I please"

I do not look at her,

I do not hear her

I do not see her

I do not feel her

"I have given you your chance

You have thrown it away

This is the day I leave you

Goodbye"

I sit alone in an empty place

My creation is frozen in time

A tear flows down her soft cheek

I kiss her lips

All I feel is pain.
