Azarath

How could this happen to me?

The world I've loved so long

has been destroyed in a moment

and it seems so very wrong.

-----

The pacifist community

of Azarath is no more;

it's all just smoke and ashes

and gold streets nevermore.

-----

My heart is filled with hatred

of the monster of my dad

who caused this world to instantly fall

for as a child, it was all I had.

-----

Of course, I couldn't feel

so attached as I was young,

but still it leaves a pain

and my heart feels very stung.

-----

I wonder why Azarath

had such a horrid fate

because it was so awesome

and really truly great.

-----

"All good things must end"

is what anyone will say

but still my heart aches with loss

at how Azarath's now decay.

-----

The burning flame of hatred

I feel as I think of it

won't seem to fade away

and the sadness will not quit.

-----

It pulls my heart every possible way

whenever it crosses my mind

and though I temper those emotions

the memories are still left behind.

-----

The imprint it left in my soul

seems empty now but still

I remember way back in my first years

and that void cannot be filled.

I shall never forget it.

and remember Azarath forever more.

I will remember to forget the unimportant

and always tenderly touch my heart's sore.
