The Askance Chapter 6 Part 2a

Aidan The Knight Of The Word Several weeks has pass and gone But all I can see is Ei-rian in my mind Life in my world is harder to breathe on Had since her diminished light no longer shine The weight of the dead is heavy But I couldn’t just let go… I wouldn’t For it isn’t just the cause of love simply It’s a passing of a journey shared… forsaken Life with her I can only remember Because I can only remember given my this life A past engrave into my this life in weaver To only wonder how much longer can I survive? “And the doors open to reveal her in nude With her long hair barely covering for full exposure Of candles burning to glisten her wings of whiten silk And simply to witness, remains a purity in honest pleasure So mesmerising was it all as all can only be With her endless array of books piling ever high A feather she use to pen her words into memories Words written to express why dreams never will die” This was a memory of her I have remembered Perhaps the only memory to remain true and dear Years gone, times passed and moments withered To have lived within and be left with what remains to fear Gone have you, lived had I?
