All is desolate

Where there was once beauty,

Now there is dust.

Where there was once love,

Now there is hatred.

The flare in my heart is but a flicker,

Dying out

I’ve wept my last tear.

In the nightmare of the dark

I have lived with you so long.

A sea of pity you made of me

And emptied all my pride.

But I have vowed to leave behind

Your promises and lies.

Since you would have none of me

Instead I’ve summoned what bravery

I had left,

to bury some of you.

By this, you shall know my pain.
