Prologue
Bonds are very delicate relationships, akin to objects dangling loosely on a rope, ready to fall at any moment. They’re supported by trust and held by compassion. They grow slowly with patience. They’re fragile, like thin layers of glass. They’re unbreakable but bendable, like a plastic objects.
An outsider would never understand why, always asking for the how. I suppose that I am an outsider. I could never place my trust in others. I can never share the weight rested upon my shoulders. I can only carry and allow myself to tumble with each step. I could never bring myself to reveal even a portion of truth about me. I could only allow them to point their fingers in haste towards my directions, stating the lies and disregarding possibilities.
I was hopelessly engulfed in my own world; my own perpetual abyss. I had already gotten used to it here as well as the loneliness that accompanied it. I enjoyed the tranquility within the silence and the feeling of reaching out to the unknown. Though I didn’t know why I was in here, I felt as if I was waiting for something, expecting something that I might not want to expect.
I assumed that everything will fall into place. Pieces will line themselves up and stack themselves into a masterpiece, waiting to be analyzed and used as a key for a question waiting to be solved. But answers are never easy to find if you don’t know where to look. We have to solve for an answer without a key. All is well, I suppose, if you were to listen to what shouldn’t be heard.
Now maybe I’m going off on a little tangent, jumbling up the pieces of a puzzle that is easily solved and turning it into something significantly more complicated. I wouldn’t know. In the end, I’m still chained down by the mysterious enigma that I embody. I don’t know what I want or where I want to be. I’m merely wasting my time wandering about in my thoughts as my companions slowly lose their faith in me.
All I can do is stand here and watch as these people pile themselves in front of me, risking their lives for someone who is not worth a ounce of their blood.
I can only agree that I’m cruel. That’s all there is to it. That’s all that I can say.
Stage 1
I sat out there, cuddling myself in the icy cold wind during the middle of winter. It has been quite a while since I’ve allowed myself to immerse with nature. The wind is hasty today, moving quickly into the unknown as it leaves me with nothing but whispers of its travels. It brushes itself against the trees as a sign of its final departure, leaving their traces behind.
I was isolated again. I had recently lost a friend that I held dear to me, but it wasn’t as if I had tried to prevent it. There was a part of me that had wanted to reach out to her, but, I figured, people wouldn’t leave you unless they wanted to. You don’t gain anything from chasing after someone who wishes to leave.
There wasn’t anyone else that I had. I was never the type to easily befriend someone. People leave, I learned, and that was the reason why I had never bothered to attach myself with others. I knew the pain was too great as well as the loneliness that accompanied it. Nevertheless, I was not worried. I did not spend my night weeping for the loss of a person who would abandon me for someone else. Instead, I felt relieved by the fact that I no longer have the need to worry for anyone but myself. I had
