I will never be just 'a part' of another person. I am more than a part. I am a whole--my own whole--and no one and nothing can take that from me. I will never yield to the desire or temptation to let that wholeness go--rather, by confronting it, I overpower it. It no longer rules me. I will not yield any more--not to the false desire, nor the real one that lurks under its surface--I have found meaning again. I have found the things that you swore I could not have without you, and I have seen that I can provide them without you. My chains are broken.

So, parasite, what will you do? Where will you go? I gave you the chance to change yourself--you did not. I gave you shelter of the heart, and welcoming of the spirit--you tried to seduce my lines of thought, tried to sway my heart. and never endeavoured to be more than you are now. I cannot slow down forever for you; you can no longer keep pace with me. My soul burns brightly, clear of the haze and the delusion you attempted to cover it in.

Yes, I enjoy that. And that too. But I no longer enjoy you, with your wheedling, half-baked apologies, your promise that I will find paradise over the next dune of the desert you attempted to make my life into. There is more out there than you. You cannot hold me in your blinders, and even a glimpse has broken me free of you.

Did you think I would feed you forever? That I would forget my natural place, my true hidden desires? Ones you, yes, even YOU could not succour, nor ever will be able to, desires that are not of flesh alone, but heart and sweeping soul. My chains are broken. Your blindfold has been torn from my eyes. I leave you here--alone--to burn away, or to evolve. It is no longer anyone's decision but your own.
