stronghold
stronghold
time permitting
his haste be abridged kind soul
let an hour pass solemn and languid
abyss abyss
unforgettable and such true bliss
life continuing
this lonesome loathe to everything
i am hollowed and un-trusting
your thirst relieves my quenching
unearthly unfriendly
then left me in a boredom frenzy
desperately seeking your follies
in frigid scorn
nasty, unceremoniously absurd
the structure of which life
has to go on forever for me
when you and i have died in memory
no more tomorrow that i can watch excitedly
now forgetfulness will take hold
the passion innate my stronghold
now only a pleasant dream
away from you, away from me
