ANCHORED.


⚓︎


July 12, 854.

I have lost everything, Mein Herz. I hung onto my father's pride, my mother's love and my sister's name when they had all been long, long gone, merely faded blots of ink on the page of time. I hung onto my dreams of leading a life of purpose and heroism and righteousness, stretching my hand towards the stars, unaware that they had always been — and would always be — out of my eager grasp. How long those years were! Those endured years when I clung tight, a slave to my hope, even as my fingers slipped treacherously from the blood that stained them. Was that the price for what I wanted? How much blood did my love have to cost? I asked the world, and was met with grave, deafening silence.

But now, I am not who I was. I have no need to latch onto things that have ceased to exist; even the searing wound of remembering you has begun to fade. A dull throb from another time, another life, another name. For the first time in strained months and never-ending years, I am unanchored to my past. And I have turned my back on my father, my mother, my darling sister, my hometown, and you. No longer can I helplessly, hopelessly watch your spirits burn.
