Departure.



Soft yet so undeniably broken,
alone yet so adored
she doesn't see her beauty, this she has spoken.
she hath no meekness, thus she plunged her heart upside an ivory sword

Where did i go wrong?
She had never shown her pain.
Should I have known this all along?
I need her here, I wish i felt her shame.

Here I sit, with her icy flesh pressed to mine,
As her life drips out of her veins...
I wish she had given me a sign....
Now the Night Mare cometh, I've lost my grip and cannot pull the reins.

The sun has gone away,
and the cold winds have come to take you from me.
It hurts me, to forget this day.
you have disappeared forever, all that you were, and all you'll be.

Goodbye my love.
Although you have gone,
you shall remain with me, my dove.
hence forth I'll wait to be with you, from dusk until dawn.

Your departure is not the end.
Let the morning forgive you.
For your soul will rise and descend,
and for all you have done, our hearts are with you.
