i heard with sadness
that you sank beneath the waves
to re-embrace the old ways of Atlantis
having shown to me that your drifting dreams
could not extend their sodden wingspan to the sky.

so i will fly for both of us
seeking out new sky-plains now
released from heavy chains you blindly
wrapped around my tender waist and heart.
i will sing the dreams and passion that so threatened
you and i will not look down to see you drown in self-betrayal.
