All That Remains
She gets older
And the years pass
But she will never forget the smolder
Of blue eyes above brass
Her eyes have long since stopped crying
But the pain never fades
The ache, the sting underlying
Every feeling that pervades
Empty and cold, Gazing above
Lost and sad, she moans
Her only wish to hold her love
There's nothing left but bones
Skin, once so soft and warm
Shriveled away to nothing
Leather that has lost its form
Tall boots that need scuffing
All That Remains
Of a Warrior
A Mother
A Daughter
A Lover
All That Remains
Of a Woman
A Being
A Human
A Life
And everything that lives
Must die
These are now words to live by
Torn apart by fate
Cruel, evil, twisted hate
Sacrificed to save an army
Of souls that will die without her anyway
Now she rests, an angel in the sky
Waiting patiently
Until the day her lover will die
Give up and join
Her family
In the sky
