No Longer Man, but Monster
Greet them at the door,
Smile-- do not look in their eyes.
There was no light in the core
Hidden by a pained grey guise.
For once there was a time--
Before the war and crime--
When there was a brilliant shine
Saying everything was fine.
Time changed and morphed him;
Lack of love was deadly
And all too grim.
We were once so close,
Now he lies awake an empty shell
Reenacting his deadly throes.
My heart may swell
And I may cry in silence;
Though without balance
What will we become?
His new darkness frightens me
To believe he was never who I thought--
I have heard Achlys cry
And am afraid to be caught
Alone in the dark with my former love.
