Eldritch Wanderings

Dug out an old poem from my email, and it is suddenly very profound

A light goes out,

(Four long years have passed)

and all is still.

(I didn’t expect you here.)

A faint thump is heard;

(You catch up on old times)

another, and another.

(As if nothing has changed.)

“Thump, thump, thump.” (a heartbeat)

(But it has.)

A mask is removed

(I used to cry over you.)

And thrown to the floor.

(I wish I could cry still,)

Let all the world know

(But my tears for you)

Vivandi is no more.

(Are long since shed.)

The dark returns with silent violence

(Nobody deserves a third chance.)

And we shall enjoy ourselves.

(I never wish to see you again.)

This I promise you;

(This I promise you;)

Welcome to the land of Shattered Dreams.

(Welcome to the land of Shattered Dreams.)
