Yes, even as your eyes fill with tears Grievance washing over you like shores from a time long past Air shaped by your throat as it heaves choppy breaths into burnt lungs Yes, even then The stars of the desert sky write their will upon you And from this there can be no reprieve Oh, if I could fade those heavens above They have shone their violent red starlight on you far too long Indeed, if your mother could see you now What would she think? Mouth agape As confused as Eve Staring from her orchard of Eden Down onto the barren desert that has swallowed us whole Dearest Felisin, is it answers you are after? Do you only wish to know why she did it? Why you could not be loved, when you loved so feverishly? From you, Felisin, there is a hard-learned lesson in mortality To lose the fear of dying You must simply die everyday In the end, it is all meaningless Did you find it that way? To be meaningless? The plots and plans Conspiracies and collaborations The treason and treachery And the final betrayal of truth - We will all die too soon Oh, young Felisin There is much to say of mercy And so I shan't tell your story in truth As is my mercy to those that would hear it most But know this, lost Felisin Tonight I would weep for you
