Between Scylla and Charybdis - Mithras

It will take forever

For us to meet again

If you even live — how could you know?

The door we used, so casually

That ancient gateway

Bridging vast spaces between which

Light itself had barely travelled

That great eye

Would blink, flare, close forever

Fading from our existence

There was no time, no recourse

Horror encroached upon the system you were in

Abandon you to save us all

Between Scylla and Charybdis

I mourn for you — but more I mourn for me

For it was me who closed the gate

With you on the other side

So how can I live

When you are gone

Fallen into memory

Your path ends — mine stretches on

I journey on alone

Now a solitary figure
