The earth curves

Sharp beneath my feet

A vessel of yearning

Hollow and incomplete

The pull is silent

The stars don't speak

But something forbidden

Carves through the deep

A tide of whispers

A shadowed hymn

It calls me closer

Though I'll never begin

Across the void

Where the oceans weep

Through fractured skies

In the dark I keep

A longing sharp

Like a wound that won't mend

The other side waits

Where I cannot ascend

It tastes of iron

Of smoke, of flame

A silhouette etched

In the ache of my name

Each step I take

Sinks deeper in time

Chasing horizons

That will never be mine

So I linger

Bound to this cage of desire

A life undone by an unreachable fire

Forever I'll ache

Forever I'll crave

For what lies beyond

In the shadows I've made
