Hoping

tears streamed down my face as the sun sank and the roads of the world grew dark. forever, heartsick tears. with bleak parting words the starry skies disappeared into a wretched, deadly night. in this joyless kingdom where one becomes a broken man i tell you all the truth if you can escape; go. i’d say the night is endless here i cried out to her, words winging into the darkness. cries flown like a dream but she answered not a word. i said prayers to the gods that I could hold out here till Dawns first light that maybe her wild, fiery eyes would be alive in the light of day
