Myriad of Unkown Places

I am ineffectual, thus my prolongued absence,
Knowing it does me no good to be here.
What, really, can I do?
Trying to creep on quiet cat feet,
But there never can be any hiding.
And my heart aches, bruised with knowing
That something with the potential of glory
Is just a dream, and a pain I beg for,
Yet scream at when I must wake.

I dig through the masses until I reach
My destination, overcome with expanding perplexity.
Why you call yourself that, I wouldn't know,
Since it is something you are not.
And slurs on character are misguided,
Unproven.
Did you say you would not let me leave?
I have this truth to be a crown of despair.
I feel my very presence is proof.

And I still feel.  Praying that it is you,
And thinking perhaps it isn't, really,
And thinking of your extremes,
Wondering how I will die this time.
It feels as though I whole 'nother lifetime
Has passed, and it has.
I cannot be free of what will not fade.
My heart is a prisoner of your own.
