Dug out an old poem from my email, and it is suddenly very profound.
A light goes out,
(Four long years have passed)
and all is still.
(I didn’t expect you here.)
A faint thump is heard;
(You catch up on old times)
another, and another.
(As if nothing has changed.)
“Thump, thump, thump.” (a heartbeat)
(But it has.)
A mask is removed
(I used to cry over you.)
And thrown to the floor.
(I wish I could cry still,)
Let all the world know
(But my tears for you)
Vivandi is no more.
(Are long since shed.)
The dark returns with silent violence
(Nobody deserves a third chance.)
And we shall enjoy ourselves.
(I never wish to see you again.)
This I promise you;
(This I promise you;)
Welcome to the land of Shattered Dreams.
(Welcome to the land of Shattered Dreams.)
