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, "mine…"

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.
