One day we could walk to Elysium But only you would cross that flaming river. I'd hold the singed petals Of those heavenly blooms, Just as now I hold the remains of what once was. For you thought I crossed the river Styx and frolicked among the rolling hills. But I've been here in Tartarus, waiting for my time to end. Charon is my only friend, because we enjoy eachother's silence. My suffering is not much to him, but it is great to me. Alighieri passed me long ago. Both me and him looking for a Beatrice, at least he still has hope. How could I call you from that paradise? To be with me on the jagged cliff of a bottomless chasm. Nyx calls to me through the void. My legs grow weak as night seduces me. As I slip from the edge chaos surrounds me. Floating in darkness I find myself at peace. I've lost view of Elysium but I do not miss it. The company of me is complete Just my thoughts and this pen is all I need -Skofeld

Road through Elysium
One day we could walk to Elysium But only you would cross that flaming river. I'd hold the singed petals Of those heavenly blooms, Just as now I hold the remains of what once was.
