In my weakened state I screamed your name,
“Wait!”
You never looked back, you kept moving forward and forward like a drifting shadow till you disappeared into the edge of the ocean pier like a small shadow as your image disappeared from my vision.
In my daze, I went to the nearest lighted building – a hotel.
I rang the bell repeatedly. The reception was lighted but empty. No soul was around. I looked left and right, I looked around. But you were no where to be found.
For the days that remained at the island of Corfu, I would drink by the pier at night, wondering if I lost you forever as you ran into the night, away from me, away from your nightmares, away from your family, away from the world. I wondered if you disappeared into the ocean, I wondered if you are free now. I wondered these things as I chanted prayers after prayers under my breath while looking out at the vastness of the skies meeting the waves.
“Ring.” A call. From who? I did not know. A savior for my soul?
In embrassment, I answered shyly,
“Hello.”
As soon the melachohy started, it ended right there with the call from heaven. But now, the bridge between heaven and earth no longer exist. It has been broken by the lost of faith. The lost of us, forever.
Again, I am screaming your name.
But now I am even weaker. I had lost my voice. Only words remain as the visions of us turned from an ideal of brilliance to a blank state of nothingness.
Nothingness.
Melachohy.
Abandonment.
