Ignis Fatuus
July 27, 2012
I don't want this to end.
No, I don't want this moment to die.
I could be here forever.
Falling for eternity in this eternal lie.
I would fear no one, although life would never end.
To think that you ever existed,
oh, why did I pretend?
Where are you now?
Are you here right beside me?
Or are you in the back of my mind?
Where there is nothing real to see.
Life can't go on. No, it mustn't,
I have to end it.
I hope it doesn't restart.
Please don't let it restart.
This nothing is me.
And I am living my old dreams of this verity of a fantasy.
