At the far end of the other shore, beside the River of Forgetfulness;
A proud, solitary soul waits with longing.
That year, a few brushstrokes captured your face;
That instant, one backward glance revealed your alluring eyes.
I smile as I watch the filth of the world flow against the tide, yet it cannot compare to the rot of the human heart, spreading like a plague.
I would gladly fall into the depths of hell, if only you could remain at peace in my heart forever.
I was born adrift, lost between emptiness and illusion.
It is love, it is you, it is eternity, it is my unwavering first promise.
This heart is my witness.
"I was a wandering traveler who knew no way home. I was never meant to raise my voice in this gaudy, bustling world..."
