[Tsaritsa]

Can you keep a secret?
I think something's missing.
I can feel the absence of it, I can hear the whispers of loss, though It has no name.
I could show you where It belongs, but there'd be no scar to betray the tale of Its theft.

Incomplete.

Can you keep a secret?
I've always been a willing vessel for others' burdens,
I've been searching for something to anchor my soul,
I think I still yearn for a lifeline that I could tether my heart to.

It's so lonely.

Can you keep a secret?
This doubt has always lingered, gnawing at my resolve,
Have I been chasing shadows all along?

Will I ever catch one?

can you keep a secret?
when I am graced with Her essence,
when Her heavenly gaze dawns upon me,
when Her words steer me with absolute authority,

just for a breath,

i swear,

I am complete.
