And his cries echoed across the chasm of time

He pleads:

A MYRIAD OF BROKEN HEARTS

ALL ROLLING IN SHAME FOR THE SAKE OF THEIR ART

 

She:

As long as I am earth i will never leave you

As long as i am water I will never stray

throughout time itself immemorial

I will not be a reason for your dismay

 

He returned:

IVE TAKEN IT, I HAVE COME TO A REASON

I HAVE TAKEN CONTROL OF MY PSYCHE AND I NO LONGER FEEL PAIN

DISMAY OR SHAME OR CONTRITENESS OF AMBIVALENCE

I HAVE DISMANTLED MY OWN IGNORANCE I HAVE REACHED THE ETERNAL

 

He repeated:

COUNTLESS WOMEN HAVE LEFT ME BEGUILED

BUT I NO LONGER AM BROKEN HEARTED

BUT—

PLEASE

PLEASE

Please

please

 

He:

CANNOT YOU SEE MY FEELINGS OF DESIRE?

CANNOT YOU SEE?

CANNOT YOU BE SO INDIFFERENT TO MY POIGNANT PATHOS?

WHY DO YOU LEAVE THIS HAVEN WE HAVE BOTH BUILT?

WHY DO YOU ESCHEW MY AFFECTION?

 

She, herself:

By the power vested in me

I say we are both equals

by the power vested within me

I say we are both the same

 

HE:

MY SCREAMS WILL ECHO THROUGHOUT THIS LIFE

BUT I WILL BE RESOLUTE IN MY GUILT

I WILL STAY NULLIFIED BY THIS VASTNESS

I WILL BE MINUSCULE BUT I WILL SURVIVE

IMPEACHED UPON YOUR ALTAR

I WILL BE ONE WITH YOUR TRUE SELF

 

She:

Though we may differ in matter

it is all for one expense

although I may be lacking—

it is not for want of circumstance

 

He:

WHY

WHY

WHY
