The sequel to, "To her"

-------------------------------

The sound of the chalkboard

On the wall, makes me remember

the time.

How long I've been here

How long I've been here with her

How long I've been stuck


in a room with her

The one who makes the stars look like nothing

The one who makes the Sun dim

The one who danced with nereids

Swam in the river of Styx

The one I wished was dead

The one I wished was still alive with me

Not locked away in her own tower

With her own dragon

Guarding and destroying

her little by little


Sometimes, I hear the sound of chalk on the wall

Scratching away

The days I've been stuck here

One line at a time

One line a day

I can barely count the number of scratches of whisked away chalk

I've been stuck with nothing but chalk and my memories


Sometimes, I hear the sound of chalk on the wall

Which makes me remember how long I've been stuck

Without anything but a piece of chalk
