The Askance Chapter 5 Part 2b
“My beloved Knight, my Knight of the Word
I am but no more than a futile peasant to be left unheard
I fear my existence has only to cause more trouble than of help
To seek borrowed time will mean moments of time lessen to be dealt
I’m nay to remember much after the entry of the leech
And bearing this eventful catastrophe, I’m more to be certain under siege
If nay to be now, there may never well be another time to share a secret of mine
And mayhaps this secret I should have once regarded with time
Of given periods through our acquaintances, our journey as one
From a time since a beginning, whence our names come undone
My affection towards you were to be a hundred years away
Loved you were by both Ei-rian and me till even this very day
I haven’t the courage to voice my hidden passion and desire
To only travel in silence, in an ever lonesomeness of timeless dire
Too much lies at hand to know emotions must be left aside
With the war weighing upon our dreaded lives, have we only the will to fight!
And appearing thereafter, is to be Ei-rian the Angel of Dreams
Yet, she be the only one who can show you what The Ancients is to mean
Thereafter my engiven freedom, heard were grave news of you
Death upon swift wings in exchange to begin my life anew
When heard were tales about your traveling with Ei-rian
I am to envy the path of love between you and the Angel of Dreams
And as lonely as The Ancients is to be with no one else
I’m to learn later, the cause of your death was from love itself
Since your return, I do fear to present my love as once again
Yet now… I fear even more to die without a love to remain
Though as uncertain from then as now, I am nay to know how you feel?
However, I rather you know before my time with death be seal
If love from you has nay a blossom for me, I do understand
And I’m nay to ask for return, neither of borrowed love to lend
I’m lighthearted indeed to have a chance to voice my aspiration
Moreover to know, us be traveling together to our destination
How have you the capability to save me? I’m nay to know…
My life now will forever be indebted to you, must you enfold!”
