Redeemed

You,

You burned me alive.
I was alone,
Asphyxiated,
Decayed,
Destroyed.

Suddenly,
The world I thought I knew,
So sincerely,
Was evanescent.

I was breathing,
But I couldn’t call it living.
I was frozen in the conflagration you created,
With the sole intent to engulf and corrupt me.
I was cemented,
In a plane of existence,
Where that is all it was.
Existing… for what seemed to be,
Bittersweet eternity.

Perfection is a lie;
It is nothing more than a concept.
Therefor we were,
A beautiful tragedy.

You dared to say that all my love was a lie.
You lied,
And tried,
To make this goodbye,
Seem justified.

A malign feint.

I never had even the most exiguous glimpse of the truth.
Now that I see,
Going back is not an option.

The scars will remain,
But I rise from the ashes.
The music will continue,
A divine tribute to what was,
And never will be again.

The lies fall on deaf ears.
My doubt will be departed and buried.
Sealed away with infinite contentment.

Though I am fickle of what the future holds,
Though I will never be the same,
I am without scruples.

And so begins,
A new chapter.
