Fallen Paradise

I walk through redolent meadows of our broken destiny,
Over shattered promises and pernicious lies,
Through valleys of accidental entropy,
Over mountains looking down, considering my demise

Leaving behind crimson footprints,
Down a path of invisible light,
Into a world with rivers of venom
Perpetual darkness, eternal fright

Our bond was ineffable, a sort of fairytale,
Or so I thought before seeing your true self, unveiled
One last time I try to deny
These deceitful illusions that bring tears to my eyes

I wander through a paradise,
Blanketed by fallen fireflies
