She makes her home
In isolation
An island made from
Stark, gray lonely

In the midst of torments’
Swirling seas

Lashed by the stinging
Spray of despair

Subject to a rising tide
Unearned guilt and
Unnamed want

She wears a cloak of
Perpetual night

And is girdled with
Implacable yearn

It was onto this shore
That I struggled for purchase

And onto this heart
That I thought I could clasp

Because I’m a fool

Wranx, you are no fool to try for someone's love. This was very well written and I enjoyed it very much.

"She wears a cloak of perpetual night."

And yet my foolishness can't even be constrained by such genderous ways...
I loved it, Wranx. Hell, I lived it under certain differences... This one has inspired a new song, indeed.
