Culmination
I ask you
To say goodbye for me
My only request
Remains to rest alive to see
My stranger
Say goodbye for me
It is for these common days
I thank you
The grace
That warms the will
In our senseless duels
For we peasant fools
Are granted only certain jewels
A limited few shall be praised
On sourdough and empty mugs
We common folk shall be raised
Merchants shall keep calling my name
For I will keep walking
In this fallen reign
I’ve dreamt of living upon a time
To no longer exist
A such time worshipped
Lives only in gist
Love me, leave me not
For my desires
I believe I may rot
