A Journey's End

She took away my heart, but gave me strength
Told me that I would be ok in just an eternity's length
She took away my smile, for wisdoms sake
Then told me that the person casted from this fire would be hard to break
I lost a part of me but still felt whole
Foolish of me to think that I was fired and no longer life's mold
My body still pulsates as if she was kissing my chest
She took away the pain, which was for the best
So long to the longing, I have reached a journey's end
Soulless sighs for a past life, as a new one begins
Rebuilding my bastions, fortifying a new heart
Getting ready for the time distant, alone, and apart
No tears for the past life, because it's already dead
No regrets about the actions, rationality has already been fed
Raise the flags, let them flutter continuously above the castle walls
Sound the trumpets of Renovation, the softest cry of love from a spirit so tall
