There are so many things to say, Yet I am many worlds away. My breath catching on the last note, Above all else remains hope. But what remains to be seen, Left lime-lighting on the scene. A tempest *** left to boil, Bursting with reckless sounds known. No path placed left to see, Yet the road ahead is black as stone. What remains is a destitution, A lacquer of things built up over time. What now that all is left but a resolution, A choice I hope that never becomes mine.
