Forevermore

Once upon a starlit night

While the moon was shining bright

I gazed into my chambers

And begat an eerie sight

 

My demons flying all around

As silent as smoke, they ne’er uttered a sound

I collapsed into my chair

And then clamped shut my eyes

My body became frigid

These demons had me paralyzed

 

I began to see my memories

Oozing from my brain

I let out a scream that shook that house

I was on the brink of going insane

 

I fought them off as best I could

I fought with all my might

But alas they were too strong for me

I gave into my demons on that night

 

I picked up quill and ink

With paper on the desk

I knew I had to tell my tale

Before they gave me any rest:

 

It was a time too long ago

Millennia it seemed

I lost the heavenly love of my life

My beautiful Mina Serene

This maiden she lived with no other mission

Than to be my earthly queen

As the fates conspired against us

As her family and friends did the same

We stood steadfast together

We made it through the pain

 

On the night I was to propose to her

My life was forever to change

When I got to her house I saw on the floor

Her blood spelled out in my name

 

I looked above the message

And my body was drained of hope

For there I saw dearest Mina Serene

With her neck constrained in a rope

I cut her down and held her close

I gave her my good-byes

I places my fingers overtop of her lids

Forever shutting her beautiful eyes

 

I buried her over that Christmas

I buried her deep in the ground

Roses were placed on top of her grave

No one uttered a sound

 

I said my good-byes and I shed my tears

All the tears that I had to shed

I promised to carry her kisses and love

Forever around in my head

 

I stayed at her site

From morning to night

While the moon was starting to thin

I said my goodbye and started to cry

With the howling of the wind

I turned around slowly with head bowed lowly

And began to walk away

I knew in my heart

That we’d never part

I’ll see her again someday.
