The Last Journey

Brisk and dark is this winter night heavy are my feet as I step outside I know my path now, I start to walk away from the last light and into the dark like the wind swirling around my face are my thoughts tumbling around like a lost man in a maze Consumed by exhaustion after a lifelong fight brisk and dark is this winter night I am torn already, let go of me you grim storm I am not turning around I maintain my form towering black and brutal the forest starts The trees dance in the wind, as once did our hearts what happened after this love was born? I am torn already, let go of me grim storm Deep in the forest silence awaits Not long now until I will meet my faith Not long now until I will see what it is like to slowly drift away, like thunder after a lightning strike How vulnerable I am, but how low are the stakes deep in the forest silence awaits this could be it, it could be now i fall to my knees take one last bow my face kisses the snow, my white freezing sheet i role on my back and stretch out my feet I no longer want to ask myself why, or how this could be it, it could be now I don’t feel cold anymore, I just want to sleep and dream of the time when we two had to meet life gave us the opportunity life gave us a chance we had it for a moment, perfect harmony like the perfect dance It slipt through my fingers, it wasn't mine to keep I don’t feel cold anymore, I just want to sleep It won’t be long now and everything will be gone I wish for my dear ones to not mourn for long I shall be forgotten, the failure that I am I feel so ashamed and not worthy a man I whisper the tune of my very last song it won’t be long now and everything will be gone I am drifting now, like a boat on a great sea floating away slowly, to where I can not see regrets, despair and guilt will soon disappear I almost feel happy, there is no fear The man that you wanted, I could not be I am drifting now like a boat on a great sea The last thought that I will ever have is about you your beautiful face and the things that you do I try to touch you i feel like I am so close I feel like those days, when we wanted it both when you needed me too, when our love felt so true the last thought that I will ever have is about you
