Surrender

on the edge of this earth, the sea watches me.
A sheet of white binds to my clean flesh.
i stand in the wind, i wait.
buried deep within, i have set fire
to dreams that will never be.
alone, i wait for the moonlight.
naked in thought, the crisp white sheet
holds all my emotions captive.
I have nothing left.
my body aches from the cold,
my mind races to find the pieces of what I once was.
"Rid me of this pain!"
I cry out to God,
" where is my salvation?"
Soulless i look the skies.
I am calm in the dead of night.
on the cool earth i sit and wait.
to deafen the sounds of ludicrous mouths,
i've left no trail.
no skeletons remain,
i've left nothing for the blind eye.
I rise, awaken by the night.
i slowly come undone.
my flesh finds comfort in the midnight sun.
i watch as the sheet is carried on the breeze,
slowly lost to the ocean.
i can breathe....
with the moonlight on my back,
nothing keeps me captive.
salvation, i shall find.
but for this night, i have surrendered.
