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
