My Last Days

Back to Dragon Child

I shall never be able to return to my own home,
The dungeon is the new place where I will stay,
Stay there and burn for not accepting this lifestyle,
Not wanting to be like the people surrounding me.
I shall never be able to sleep again as I used to do,
Be able to cover my body under the warm sheets,
Knowing that I am protected throughout the night,
Knowing that my last days are nowhere near me.

I shall drown in this world of absolute isolation,
The tower will be the last vision I will ever have,
Ever see through my eyes without crying at least,
Then I will close my eyes and never open it again.
I shall imagine going under with nothing to save me,
Nothing to stop me from doing as I may well please,
There’s only me to feel the tears go down my cheeks,
Only I can sense the water rising as time is running out.

I shall be against the wall feeling the coldness of it,
And understand it as I have been feeling so within me,
They surround me and I realize there’s nowhere to run,
The ice as time goes by will pierce the depth of my soul.
I shall be another object slowly dying in this chamber,
Slowly feel the ending of my presence approaching near,
And when the room I’ve lived in becomes a part of me,
Then the last days of my life will show its true meaning.

I shall see the light through a window once being dark,
And all of my pain and misery will fly away just like that,
Then I will no longer be afraid of walking down the path,
I will no longer see my days being taken over by darkness.
I shall be free and content with whatever I may go through,
The journey I lead will come to an end just like any other,
It’s what I do throughout my road will make the difference,
And it’s what I accomplished that will have me remembered.
