All's not lost
The time for compromise, long passed
the walls will burn, signaling their freedom
the staff wielders will learn the word 'justice' and 'existence'
there will be no fear
only the bliss of not being feared
not ashamed
and I'll watch
laying in a pool of crimson
forever grateful, for the mercy I don't deserve
my last gift, from you
There was trust
when you offered yours to me
you believed
so I had faith
I cradled such conviction deep inside, where the spirit couldn't reach
Where it was safe
And it seeded, blossomed into something more
something I did not fully understand
but I saw it, whenever I looked
at you.
but I betrayed you anyway,
because in this lifetime
this love was a luxury
you were his to hold
and I was yours to command
daggers, inches away from the sword
you were his shadow
you moved in unison; blade to blade
I was an afterthought
protected you in the shade
wishing for a look from you
the kind you only gave him
I had no regrets
I loved you anyways.
Because I know
This sacrifice will bring about a change
A chance
Where In the next life
there will be no elven slave beast to distract you
our eyes will meet
in a simpler place where everything is full of love
we will find our place within each other
the connection will not be broken this time
I will show you the magnificence of elemental powers
Mend the cuts on your hand
You will amuse with me with switchblades
Agility in cloaks, stealth movements
No one will hunt me like an animal
There will be peace
I will give you kisses beneath the tree
where people give us their blessings
Whispering, "mineā¦"
As I press my ear against your growing belly
And when the time comes
We will be surrounded by our daughters and sons
There will be no goodbyes
because I will see you again, by the Maker's side.
and I will miss you until that day comes
It's a promise.
