Beyond the forest
A library long forgotten
Legends once told
Now each spine rotten

I walked the empty place
The dust settled on shelves
Candle in hand against the dark
Into the scrolls I delve

The light flickered against the wall
Up above the ceiling marked with paint
I had to climb the up high to see it clearly
Golden leaf along the trim to mark a saint

Hidden in a place long sealed away
A supposed hero sleeps
Death and decay can only be seen
Angels and the world weeps

In those pages they...

The night is cold snow gently falls
The spear in my hand is heavy like the earth
An old voice from long ago calls
I can hear it around the hearth
This ember of the life is not truly mine
Awoke in a black spire to death and decay
The flame gives borrowed time
From someone who's name I will never say
That was your spear stabbed into the dirt
It felt familiar in my hands like an old friend
Then in my heart I began to hurt
The pain I felt I knew it was from your end
You fell next to that spire
Next to the spear was a skull worn...

Are you lost amongst them?
The wisps of those long forgotten?
Those purple flowers sway gently in the wind.
I know they are not truly there.
You are not truly there those are fragments.
The way the streaks of souls float above those flowers of death.
I see you in them. I miss you.
