The Askance Chapter 4 Part 4a
In The Realities Of Despair
Anxiety has kept me awake since many a night
Though exhausted as I am, I’m unable still to sleep
Corners of my house hasn’t a darkness no more to hide
Is there only defiance for a tormented heart to weep?
I sat rooted in trance, believing like never before
Desperately in need to return to the ancient reality
Yet, little by little it all seems fading to recall
Can I not yearn for simply a touch of unfounded tranquility?
And I forget all there is which matter most
I earnfully forget away the need to ensave Alkaiya
In hope to achieve for The Ancients to come as close
For any price, I would even sell and leave my soul afar
I wondered and wandered a little while
Drinking away for past several nights in a routine row
Still, sleep isn’t to embrace wholesomely somehow
How much more of this pain must I unwillingly enfold
Till finally, I took a turn to fall drastically ill
So terribly serious to the sheering point of near death
And so, the moment came when to think my fate was seal
Tranquility befalls at the very thought of my last of breath
{The night was a distant to be wearily dark
Not even the heavy downpour can cleanse away the burden heart
Drenching both Alkaiya and me to the very bones
Of yet only darkness I see and the merciless cold to suffer alone
With her still unconscious in my arms, I was in agony
By the Gods, she need never suffer in this unjustly misery
I held on to her, knowing I never will want to let go
And I swore if its death she is bound to face, I would follow
Be it time spent in reality that I have nothing else but her in my mind
Be it she sleeps whereas I’m to suffer with her in my wakeful time
I know somewhere deep inside I’ve developed a love
Some liking unrecognisable yet felt meaningful with a deepen worth
Humans’ thought as Gods is still mortals lesser of Gods
Given accordance, we all are breed to how we are taught
In the mortal world, I knew how easily love could fall to place
Yet in this Ancient world, love is to remain with eternity to race
And I knew in my moment, I could never see her again with partnered eyes
In my one moment, it was Ei-rian and her between truth and lies
Though with her eyes enclose, she was breathing soundly still
Holding on to my amulet, isn’t there obscurity to be real?
With Heaven’s unkind I will sell my soul to have her save
Yet… only the sorrowful rain has pitied my act of faith
