More Shadow Hearts poems.... a Keith/Margarete angst one (... couldn't NOT!) and an Alice one this time. Thank you for reviewing last time, Harbinger Loki.
Fugit Hora
Memento mori holds no depth to me
No reassuring grave, no certainty
For all I try to think that this is best
I miss the sweetness of the bitter end
In her reflected are the empty days
In her are all the ways I can't connect
And all the times I saw her watching me
I must remember what we'll never have
I see in her the inconsequentiality of sky
Of stone, of every little breath of life, of mine
Death defines her and it justifies
Without it I have no excuse; but I'm alive?
And wish I had escape, could I make up my mind
To kill myself, why not, it's too long many years ago
And days asleep or wasted with the feeling always there
That this is all there is and I'm alone
And all I do is watch unknown unseen
Not anyone, not me by now, but more a ghost
A quickly-fading footnote to her quickly-over tale
And I'm still here, because, I don't know
I watch them pass and fade, so many minds
So many thoughts that live their purpose and are gone
And will be gone in all that certainty
So how, I ask myself, and must I learn not to care
It leaves me bitter cold and must feel even worse to her
Now I don't even speak I must not speak to her
And as I see her I'm invisible.
The Fanatic
Well Alice
I know you're losing your faith
But Alice
You know it's only a game
Come on now
For everybody's sake
God was always real
He just didn't care
It's only what you believe
You're not the only one here
You know that we believe
The empty sky and the end
Well we've all been proved wrong
But since we're not alone
We've got our own mistakes
Our old mistakes around us
Oh Alice
Can't you believe something else
Cuz Alice
It's all the same underneath
All religion does is tell you
How to die
Now, Alice
You've already seen how
I can't stand it
How you're upset like this
It's all so close now
All we were fighting for
By now you've avenged
Everyone
Except yourself
Still Alice
You know I'd fight for you
Just lose your faith
For all our sakes
So I can fight for you.
