A Preservation Of Immortality - Wretched

Here at the break of dawn

I wait secluded from occurrences

That stand foretold

Hesitation devastates me

While the reek of you empowers me

To defy my immortal humanity

So set in stone with these rulings

I can’t deceive my father’s regulations

No matter what the lure

I must hold back my strength

I mustn’t bear my teeth

Inflicting my infectious persuasion

To create a wall between us, only failing

I have but one alternative

I must exclude myself

From the torture of your fragrances

Wallowing in my hopelessness

Of self-control amidst your presence

Fled through the forest in an instant

To take refuge with the genus in the north

I must salvage myself

Here, at the break of dawn

The weeks have passed as days

My blackened eyes grow weary

To concede that the words

Of the prognosticate are truly set

To be an entry into eternity anew

My hungry eyes shift from black back to gold

As I give myself vigor to face my future
