Spoiler! :
Once, you were my world.
I lived on your continents
and swam in your oceans.
I had discovered a new country,
an unknown frontier,
and I wanted to know it,
thought I could love it,
convinced myself it was mine.
I was walking on the surface
of transparent frozen water
when the ice began to weaken
and shattered beneath my feet.
And where sturdy footing was,
something gave way to nothing,
and I found myself drowning
in what I found beneath.
When I escaped the confines
of the rigid sheets of water,
I crumpled on the outside,
confused and shivering.
Your world went on without me.
You betrayed my trust and left me,
a pitiful survivor,
a confused misinterpreter.
I thought I spoke the language
of the world I found inside you.
But there must've been a few words
that I forgot to learn.
Perhaps you tried to tell me
but I simply didn't listen.
Perhaps you screamed things at me
but I didn't understand them.
Now you're just a name written
on the map of my adventures.
Someday I'll find a new place
where I can learn to live.
