No Trace

Battle scarred and torn

I lie quietly as the Ravens

of the Morrigu

fight over the remains

of Us.

It seems flesh is not

the only carrion they prefer.

Unmarked by Valkyries

I cannot claim a warriors Death.

Though I fought valiantly

              for You...

                         beside You...

Then finally.

                               against You.

My Love for you

was not enough (it never was)

to keep you safe from

               the Darkness

You so willingly embraced.

I watched helplessly,

the Love in your eyes

                 fading

Turning to rage and anger

        over slights,

both real and imagined.

My Love for You

became your Enemy.

I fought to save you

(you didn't want my protection)

 I watched my Soulmate

         slowly Die

Replaced by an Entity

so filled with Hate and Rage

That I can no longer see

         any Trace

 of the One that was.

I am Battle weary...

My eyes fully opened

I know there is nothing more

worth fighting for...

You have won the War

              so

Claim your Victory

            and

Leave me to Mourn my Dead...
