Done, Accordingly

I see my wings there in the balance
gracefully paraded; across the horizon.
If but not for the others, who led before me,
I may have made it, but I can only see
how far they let me fall.

Darling, I gave you everything
I could think of,
yet nothing more;
dressed accordingly and
poised to set the score,
but your army of deciples
they will never rest,
give me their best,
and I will crash
just like the others.

I wring my hands here in the darkness
hoping no one sees; but on this stage the spotlight,
shines accordingly, and
I should be alone now, but never
will I ever be,
I've got the root of all this evil
standing nearby me,
and I can't be afraid,
but I don't know how not to be.
I just can't pretend.

Still, darling, I gave you everything,
everything I could think of; but nothing more of me,
I paced the halls of your ruins, castle's blue
and forlorn evermore. If you could only help me
show me where you lie, and I'll lay down beside you
down where the others died.
