I'll never know myself in the way I once knew you.
I made you my everything and then I coldly walked away
In the darkest silence I hid and watched you die

Why....

I loved you with great strength
        Faithfully.
               Painfully.
I despised myself but cherished you
You were that final breath of hope
I'm suffocating...

I've lost myself again...

Without the serenity of those starry night eyes.
That smile warmer than this desert sun

Hell....my Hell...
Descending into the brimstone that replaced soul.
Still....the will to do that has managed to escape me

I've written my own ending

No magic or whimsy like those found in fables.
No depth or tragedy from those stage plays of past.
Another lonely drop in the devoid sea of "humanity"

You know who you are and I know why I loved you.

Goodbye...
