Love Poem: All Quiet

All Quiet

Three years
Gone into a flash
Of a lightning bolt sent from a hallowed land
To raze and burn

And now I can't hear anything
And you're true to your word
And so, there's nothing left to hear anyway

And I wish our last day was anything but so happy
So this goodbye wouldn't have hurt so bad
And all of the memories, good and bad
Come whirling back to me

The world is so open
With endless possibility
But it doesn't mean much without you here to share it
And thus silence drones

And now, I'm stuck out here all by myself
We destroyed the rope
That kept these two worlds combined

And now so many things won't mean as much to me as they once did
And those are years I can't give back
I wish my infinite deaths had meant more
And did their best to save me

But now the only one here is me.
