The Everafter

Inspired by the book titled "The Everafter". Picture taken from mythical-world-at-war.webs.com

The laugh
Cold an humourless
Seems to only be there to break the silence
That filled the air around us
Though the sound emerging from her lips so sudden
My heart skips one beat

Her sanity
Already left her
Slowly dripping away for years
Long before I met her

If I never intruded her life
Would she be this way
But that was never an option
Nothing I do
Can ever change that

Everything we lost
Taunts us here
Leaving us grasping for the few shreds
Of life we have left
But the one thing I have yet to see
Is how I lost my life
My death

She raised the gun
The barrel gleaming
Shoots me
Then turns to you
And we fall
Together

Together
Since we fell in love
Everything we lost
We lost together
And now together we part
Into the Everafter

Perfectyl written, a most relatable piece.
