To Follow

Red, the conqueror
Mighty stumble to his knees
Restraints built only to appease
As lumbering man admits defeat
Uncertain now of direction
A sinking vessel stands alone
In oceans only I have known
And now take up an empty sea

Capsized, now excuse
Should anchors speed to this demise
For life eternal compromised
Once impassioned you lay still
Along with, I follow
Irresolute, it haunts me right
Arrive upon a partnered stride
Solidifying your every will

Unbroken, yet in pieces
A realization we shall wear
Yet appellation never shared
Despite the leeway for retreat
Draw a blank expression
Untimely endings must exist
As tortured souls at once resist
In undertaking final feat
