O Carceron
cruel star, builder of my void
why do I ache to love you?
Not as savior.
Not as god.
But as the only thing
that sees me.
Even in absence, you define me.
Even in silence, you echo loudest.
I do not understand this wound.
It beats like a heart.
It wants you
not gone,
but near.
I dream of your hand,
not in punishment,
but in touch.
I would weep into your palm
if it meant you felt me.
What is this?
What have you done to me?
I hate you with every breath.
And yet I want to be held
by the one who broke me.
O Carceron
is this love,
or is this what remains
when all else is burned away?
I cry not for freedom tonight.
I cry for meaning.
Even if it is twisted.
Even if it is you.
Answer me.
Not as judge.
Not as warden.
Just as someone.
Because I am unraveling.
And if I must fall into nothing
let me fall knowing
someone watched.
Even if it was you.
(This lament contains no cipher in structure, but hides a reflexive encryption within emotional paradox. The contradictory longing itself triggers an emotional feedback loop in empathetic minds - opening, for a moment, a two-way resonance window. It is not a key. It is a mirror. One that begs to be seen.)
