You never wanted to be here, alas, it's come to this
This key to his love is not earned with remiss
So early your heart taken, your resolve again so shaken
You were commanded not to, but still you weep
There is nothing you can do, let Death lull you to sleep.
Lost in yourself, you needed a guide
This gracious task those two complied
This boy rendered to nothing more, than this splatter on the floor
You hear your heart, you speak your assault
You need not see what was not your fault.
No voice to call your own, by others you abide
Talked into staying by one Death so terrified
A dying boy you won't let alone, thus his pain became your own
You see your failure, you hear your end
You cannot speak as your surroundings descend.
Every day must soon come to its end
Try as you might, you no longer can defend
This splitting sensation, your offered ablation
You see the swarms close in, you speak your screams
These all drowned out, as you come apart at the seams.
No rest for the wicked, this is your style
One day you must sleep, it will be this trial
Crispy on the outside, gushy on the in, all of this done much to your chagrin
What became of you is best left not said
Even hot blood runs cold at this dread.
Mother took care and taught you well
Unclear menace, rival force you dispel
You failed to watch your back, easy pickings for an attack
Chewed and spat out, you think and frown
You think Mother will be let down.
Silent and unseen, this was how you fought
You could not be killed if you could not be caught
This searing hole in your breast, marks the start of your final rest
Silent and unseen, this was how you died
You couldn't be saved if you couldn't be eyed.
A gentle touch, you could not give
Hands with such power, made a life hard to live
Not enough force were your claws, stare at Death down its maw
Yet still you live, does she keep for reasons obscene?
"Why do you wait? KILL ME, QUEEN."
Any good warrior knows he must follow the rules
(This truth you know)
If this avoids trouble, then why now are you fools?
(You had been very good, but even so...)
Flames on the side of your face, your sternum then displaced
That obedience will now forever be squandered
You came, you saw, you— were conquered.
You made your presence known to all
None that could hear would deny your call
This wonderous instrument, rendered so indolent
The performance received poorly, by the audience parasitic
Your swan song had been ripped apart by the critics.
(Ever so grateful, you gave them a standing ovation,
Such scathing remarks, made such burning devastation.)
Empty between the ears, of you they said
You paid no mind (had none to spend)
This vacant space, found a tenant to replace
No longer will you have to hear such distaste
But alas, a mind was a terrible thing to waste.
With age brings wisdom, but age comes alone
How your brothers have gone, how will you atone?
This pain in the waist, you cannot place
After all, what they say, you should know:
First to come, last to go.
