To Be Forgotten
-
I lost a love I could not keep,
By word or action or cause.
A love once strong by lover's keep,
Never wondering when, what, or was.
-
Despite the night's constant wept,
It was the Gods' tears lining my soul.
For I couldn't convince him to stay,
And without him I wasn't whole.
-
I let my toes slip beneath me,
Claws scraping disgracefully upon the ground.
Shook my head in silent wonder,
At something so profound.
-
He wished for honor and great strength,
Neither I of which I could provide.
There was no honor at my side,
And nowhere I could hide.
-
I ran the land's length,
In search of something lost.
I swore we would reunite,
No matter what it cost.
-
And when at last my wish was granted,
And I thought the Heavens smiled on me.
I found that to be forgotten,
Was worse than the death could ever be.
