The Stillness

by Lialane Graest

A short poem that I wrote way back when (before I wrote anything other than poetry) that I unearthed today. Seemed appropriate for Crona, and so I feel I must introduce you to "The Stillness"; it is all that remains when all else is gone. Enjoy.

I fall
Down into the mire of pain and misery;
into the deadness of the night.
from grace.

I am hurled
Cast far beyond hope of recovery;
forever lost to love and life.
from Heaven.

I pray
Forgetting myself, or trying to;
refusing to remember the past.
for redemption.

I wail
Clinging to my memory of you;
hoping and knowing it won't last.
in pain.

I curse
Sinking slowly into the deep reaches of me;
knowing I no longer will remember.
in silence.

I weep
My heart and mind emptying slowly;
my being no longer held together.
in despair.

I cease.

A/N: This is something I wrote a long time ago (ie, about 8 years ago) that I thought was appropriate for Chrona. The 1st and 4th lines are meant to go together, if that makes more sense to you. I don't own Soul Eater, but I do own this poem.
