Drown

By Eladrim

Live, for the life I gave up
And destroy these memories.
Until the rise beyond the fall.
Until the end of it all.
Until the Moon and Sun
Bleed as one.
When the sky burns red,
And melts into the Sea.
Until all that has been
And all that would be
Is torn away,
And time itself is undone.
Then you will find me
Weeping in the dark.
The same flame that consumed me then
Will not have drowned in the ocean that night
Like my body did.
