As Long as You're Alright

I'll be fine.  It makes no matter

The pinpricks a suffering heart may conceal.

Going down slowly, first once, then

Twice, but never thrice as the waters congeal

To hold up this form, though the spirit may wan

Like a lingering sunset o'er ocean's expanse.

There are not villains in this final episode,

Simply the irony of circumstance.

 

We held such hope in our humble beginning,

Seemed that forever was so far away.

But who could have known, who would have guessed

That forever would be little more than a day.

 

We were both victims of folly's desire

Holding our candles aloft in the night.

And I shall be counted among the survivors

As long as I know that you are all right.
