The Broken Pieces: The Sea Angel IV

Emptiness......a vast open space
So wide, it engulfs everything
So deep, it remains insatiable
Like an unconsolable child 
An anger that refuses to dissipate
A plague to last forever?

The last time her voice echoed
His desperation knew no bounds
The gods had finally come calling
Poseidon with his three horned staff
A perfect storm fashioned for destruction
A moment he had always dreaded
His immortality making no difference
Ensuring death takes none of the pain away

This moment he foresaw in the past
His love he thus suffocated to avoid the eventual pain
An act of cowardice?
Judge not....for then he was only human
With immortality his errors he tried to reverse
But the future became the present too quickly
And destiny came calling regardless
His muse gone...
His heart torn...
His nights lonely

Once again, sitting on the bow of his ship
In the eerie darkness of a starless night
On nights like this she'll whisper sweet words to him
Caress his ego...
Calm his fears...
Heighten his passions

All that now is a distant memory
And darkness reigns where there was once fire
Emptiness....all that is left
Since the Sea Angel departed
