Okay, so I know it's short. I wrote this for a competition on a forum ages ago. It's been up on my Livejournal for ages, I just never thought to post it here.. So I thought why not go for it!

Anyways, just leave a little review to tell me what you thought or something? They're greatly appreciated!

I close my eyes, I dream of the end,

The death of a lover and the loss of a friend

Left a gaping hole in the world

And out of it the darkness unfurls

So quick, no time to set things right

One bullet turned her day to night

And drained all life from her eyes

Left no time for any goodbyes

So cold, her death took all the warmth

Left me no shelter from the storm

Elation dropped me from its airy wings

And now, The Lethe's Bramble stings

Gone, no chance to apologise

For my cruelty, my feeding her lies

And now, Tara, the hour draws near

Where all the world will be with you, my dear

The end of dusk, the end of dawn,

This is it; oblivion
