I Shall Miss Quintessa

I shall miss the silence of the space that's world's apart
Onto this which these stains of all strife and all life depart
But for which once these sins much denied and all griefs so imbibed
And to which now these steps did I so take for the sake of the sane...

I shall miss those sirens of sadness unwrung in all scenes so undone
For white lies and dark sighs its now time for the world to welcome me back
To meet me at this altar for pain since departed for red roses of hope that had bloomed once again
For this me unto me as I carve once again this bright path to heavens amidst all lost smiles...

And to this end of all misery I now stand at the threshold of more bright white faces!
Of things left unsaid for when the last I set out for darkness within, and darkness without for within thus remained...
And with this I decreed that shall never once again there be words of me going back into the void again!
For when the darkness enslaved you but freed are you now from clutches so cold, that this me I'd see red if ever I'd be back to the start once again!

And so now I shall miss this unruly, this darling Quintessa
For the spirits they now lurched from the void straight to the dawn and will do so forever
But this me will never forget of the place whence I came, through the land so forgotten but never forgiven
For the fires in my heart for the future battlefields, in the plane of stars for the place I once homed...
