Dear Armelia

Loss/love combined.

In black velvet shadow I have seen your face;

dancing amidst the orchids of everlasting beauty

And in your eyes I have seen the future;

dark black, filled with transparent illusions.

Hollow and broken I walk, step by step;

following the path that will lead me to my death

But I am not afraid - I'll embrace it because of you;

yet, you do not seem to  care - it was never me and you

I'd break free of my banquet - but I don't see why;

there is nothing left for me - no soul to abide

Angels cry over my doomed fate as I lay rest to sleep;

and I wish to bid a farewell, but farewell seems too steep

Abysmal desires to become the one with you haunt me;

escape is not near, escape is lost in reality

I was always a soldier - yet now I feel like a civilian;

useless and shadowed - goodbye dear Armelia

Remember me when the time comes to be;

spell out my name and let me rest in peace

Beneath the ground where shadows cannot lurk;

there I shall sleep until the end of the world
