What can you say, to a life been snatched away? Come back, you call, you croon, you weep. Cry and then die, you too, my friend. Your corpse will rot until the day breaks and the creatures and worms come to feast. Feast until the sunset, beasts, feast until it's gone.
You didn't really mean it, when you said the end of time. You've gone somewhere I can't, I won't, I live. Call me oath-breaker, call me doomed. Sing this name of mine to the hell-demons, let them have my soul. I surely do not want it.
Dead? Don't be stupid. Those trees aren't dead. What's that you say? Black, twisted and leafless, but they are not dead. They have merely gone on to a better life, a more perfect one. Their leaves and their chestnut brown bark was holding them to this place. They don't belong here, they're meant to be elsewhere. Somewhere worse. Kami knows they deserve it.
Rancid? Aren't you an idiot. That's not how it smells, not at all. You can't appreciate the reek of death and the richness of blood. That's your fault, how full of faults you are. Deep within you, deep within your heart, you say. Nonsense, utter nonsense, I see all of you. I never look into your mind at all. Your heart is what you wear proudly on your sleeve.
Stop those stupid tears of yours. Barren? This place is no such thing. Those woods over there? You see them? They teem with greed and want, a desire from swift and methodical revenge. Their dirt, their ragged plants..Only blood seems to be able to make them grow.
Odd, is it not?
The hellish and the sweet, the wild and the tame, they live and die for me. They love and kill for me. They plant and harvest for me. Oh, you claim they do such things as it is the only way they know? Are you not the most astoundingly stupid thing I have ever come in contact with? The correct answer is yet, you shall say it unless you wish for your innards to be my dessert.
I cut out my heart long time passing, the flowers died with me. But still I stand, and still I sway. Unstable? Never. Merciless? Always. You learn as you live, if you learn you are allowed to live longer than most. Understood? You always were slow at your lessons.
I haven't such a right, that is what you say. Wrong, dearie, I have all the right in the world. Anyone can and ought to get what they desire the most. I am merely strong enough to go through with it.
I, father to the void and the wind, mother to the fury, shall give them so they grow forevermore. Always trapped within, from now until forever. They're a bit like me, if you think about it.
But you never will.
