Now Alone

The empty weariness settle over me.
I am tired and alone.
You have left me now and forever.

Sweet city in the sky or the eternal inferno within.
I cannot decide where it is you've gone, where it is I'll follow to.

Surely it must be hell for the life you inflicted on me.
Yet surely it must be heaven for the ecstasy you envoked in me.

Was it you that said, one never walks the path to heaven but is carried there on the wings on righteousness.

Yet one must walk the pathes to hell to know what living is.
I've seen most people as they're dragged through life.

But those of us, the few and damned, have walked through life erect.
You gave me that and so much more.

And all that I am I owe to you.

So what now?

Of all the things you taught me, to be with out you wasn't one.
Do I have nothing now?

Surely I am bolder still to deal with gruesome tidings.
To deal with the smoldering glacial plains of my mountainous emotions.

All left in the wake of your passing.
I am tired and alone, yet you still have walked with me.

Will it be this way, forever?
