Long ago, a legend was passed and told
Kept in the stars, the mirror to our futures
Where hope was strong, and love was bold
Where wounds needed no tend or sutures
We placed our wish on a shooting star
Glowing amidst the sky with an unmatched bright
Safe though it traveled wide and far
Undeterred by the darkness of a twisted night
I am asking sincerely of you
Do not shed tears on my behalf or for my sake
I know your vows remain true
So do not gift the memories to the cruel time to take
I am asking sincerely of you
Do not pray restlessly for my safe return
I know your vows remain true
Of my persistence you will hear and learn
***
Long ago, our story was admired and sung
Guarded by the stars we traveled under
Where love remained honest and young
When cruelty stole the shine and wonder
We proclaimed our love to every place
Shielding us from the twists of a sorrowful fate
Every forest and every cave bears our embrace
Echoing the melodies of love standing up to hate
I am asking sincerely of you
Do not shed tears on my behalf or for my sake
I know your vows remain true
So do not gift the memories to a cruel time to take
I am asking sincerely of you
Do not pray restlessly for my safe return
I know your vows remain true
Of my persistence you will hear and learn
***
I am asking sincerely of you
Do not give up to the sorrow of loss for my sake
I know your vows remain true
Becoming your companions as you sleep and wake
I am asking sincerely of you
To listen to the resonance across the distance
My blades will remain true
Carving a path to you across this bitter existence
