Death’s cold caress
numbs my senses.
He wipe’th away
my tears lovingly
and sings
a soothing lullaby
in the silence.
The dead surround me,
plague me, pursue me.
I look for thee,
But thou does’t not
walk among them.
Where fore art thou,
My love?
I listen for thee,
amidst a sea of souls.
I feel thee,
yet thou art so very far away,
beached by darker tides.
I yearn for thee,
but I fear thou art lost to me.
Divine realisation
Stabs at me
with sudden clarity.
Fore I know
that I belong
in neither world.
Yet, I exist in both.
What am I to do?
