Amidst a forest of shadows
Swept in thorns and songs of farewell
I felt an echo of a glorious time
Gently whispering my name
As if knowing of my demise
As if guiding me away
From the torments of my loss
Towards that which i seek
One final glimpse of her smile

And so i followed and arrived
At the shore of a silent lake
Where i beheld a starlit silhouette
Of somehow familiar features
It was her, my love and life
Staring into the night
And awaiting my advent

I called out her name
And she unfolded her funeral face
With eyes of radiant sorrow
That pierced my blissful stare

A moment of joy turned to dust
As she spoke her final sigh
And left me shattered and alone
Amidst a forest of shadows
Swept in thorns and songs of farewell
