Parting Words

 

Parting Words

My stranger, can you feel my fears?
I don\'t know you.


Oh, your fears mirror mine,
Captured in a single tear since you\'ve been gone.
But you don’t know me.

My partner, can you hear my whisper?
The sound of desire, in silence.


Your whispers endlessly echo in my ear,
Stoking the fire of unspoken desire,
Which overwhelms my body.

My brother, can you understand my pain?
I didn\'t want to hurt you.


My sister, your pain is also mine.
Know it, face it, and wrestle with it.
You didn\'t hurt me; I hurt myself.

Young fella, you know that.
I\'m sorry.


Adorable Peregrine, I know it all.
Don\'t be sorry, my cherished bird.
You were a wellspring of delight for me
A corner of my heart is forever your refuge.

Neither ever, nor never,
Goodbye
