[hometext] => Here is the finished version of a prior post. Comments are greatly appreciated.
[bodytext] => The bitter battle is raging. Standing in Limbo, I fight to clear the incessant fog from before my eyes. Both sides gripping my hands, tempting me to turn ever so slightly to either side. Glancing to my right, the side I know I want. Slightly touching my fingertips, but has the strongest force of all. Beckoning to me with the sweet voice of eternity; I long to join. His soothing song envelopes me and I am enthralled with him. It is I who is reaching for him so strongly, and I see him reaching, too, crying for me to break free from my captivity. My lust is overwhelming. Turning to my left, I see all that I have known. His firm grasp says so much. Refusing to set me free, I struggle for release. And yet, he is my Siren who sings in perpetual seduction that keeps escape unattainable. Fear keeps me here. My eyelids close from the weight of my world and I want nothing but to be free. But in finding the key to these unbreakable chains, am I to survive the Battlefield alone? It seems neverending. I know what I must do. The fog sweeps over me again; its weight is suffocating. I turn one last time to face my loving eternity and I cry.
