Alone

A potent mix of emotions and shattered dreams quench the thirst of a lost soul.
He wanders aimlessly seeking that in which he will never find, but still searches nonetheless.
The queen of silence; The empress of solitude; The monarch of invisibility guiding him down a broken path.
A divine entity made up entirely in his mind. A desperate emotion personified...Yet he follows her.
Entranced by the image she has worked so hard to maintain, he rushes towards her going in no particular direction.
The curves of her backside taunting him as she continues to run away as she has always done.
She utters not a word. Her stares aim nowhere. He's as invisible to her as she is to the world.
One word; her name, she finally whispers, is 'Alone'
Although in the confines of his mind he despises her, acceptance comes with the fact that with her is where he'll remain for a multitude of eternities.
His soul clings to her. Over peaks and through pitfalls, he frantically grasps at her garments when they are just within reach. Again, like so many times before...he fails to reach her. He is Alone. And Alone is He.
