Lunar Tear

Why must it always end this way? An endless cycle of violence and despair A duty that nullifies our longing A love shared yet remains forever lost The sound of your forty-eight laments I will never forgive them My life was contained in our moments The red in your eyes told me of your end Judgement day has come And this world we have fought so hard to protect Will know my wrath It always… It always ends like this This pain… This sadness… This desperation… You know nothing about it Repress. Resist. Reboot. Release. I never quite realized How beautiful this world is Memories of pure light Snuffed out by an extinct dream The lie of humanity spread By a faceless council long dead Remove the iron mask to see The truth beneath the debris The last venture beyond The ascent pitifully forlorn The smoke clears and we persist To peacefully exist
