Destined to be with me

I feel like I am sitting deeper now, closer to the core of the planet, weighed down by the anchor sunk deep in my heart. My loneliness drapes around me in silky torrents that pass through the fingers of anyone who tries to grab it.

The destiny I chuckled at when instinct whispered it to me has now engraved itself into the four walls of my mind. Every time I grow hopeful the etches glow with a fiery mockery that leaves me endlessly smoldering.

I am as I am, where I am, with no one but myself to share this existence with.
