Pariah

The punishment for the mistake was cruel,
Just as the irony that my mind can be so powerful
Yet completely defenseless to my own mindless impulses
Island bows to no one
Especially not his own reflection
I don’t want to imagine how Daisy must feel
Her feelings for me were the only interruption
In the permafrost apathy that is her own prison
Her own living hell
Only the dead feel nothing
Life is a continuous symphony of emotion
Without emotion, there is nothing
Now she just feels nothing but pain
She can’t let go
If she lets go she’ll drown
She doesn’t want to drown
She still loves me
She has forgiven me
I cannot celebrate when her love brings nothing but pain

There is a glass wall between the two of us, we can see but not speak or touch.
How could I do this to her?
I was supposed to be her savior but all I did was pull her from the ice to burn in the fire.
How long do I have until she returns to the frost and is lost forever?
She was my everything, she is my everything.
If I lose her I lose everything, I already lost her, what do I do, what will happen to me if I do, what will happen if I don’t? I need her, I can’t have her.
She needs me, she can’t hear me.
All we can do is gaze into each other’s eyes and wish that I had listened to her.
None of this would have happened if I had done what she said.
Can we repair what I broke?
Island says there’s no way to repair things between us.
The sooner you get over her the better.
I lied to her, it’s all my fault.
