All souls, no matter how lost, have that one light flickering within

I break apart, 
losing chunks of my skin as it flakes away, 
my blood congealing like rotten milk as it falls from gaping wounds. 


Bones whine and crack, 
muscles dry and tear. 
They too fall away from me. 
Pieces of my body lay strewn in a long winding path. 


Until all that is left marching onwards is a single speck of light. 
Within it are not my memories or thoughts. 
Only my essence. 
My emotion. 
The love kept locked in for a lifetime, finally exposed to the cold air. 
A love I carried for a lifetime hoping it would find you. 
A love that now lives without the impurity of flesh, left with a simple singular purpose. 


To love.
