Memento Vivere #130
*I once saw your face, now just your disguise
Where is that smile I saw in your eyes?
The shadows consume as darkness draws breath
As you find yourself drawn closer to death
But I hope you know, I’m here for you
I stand here waiting for you to break free
Out of the tendrils of Nihility
Run into my arms, embrace me instead
Drench me in azure and not your eyes red
Memento Mori, but now is not time
Remember to live and bask in the light
The requiem bells still withhold their chime
Memento vitae, fly up to the skies
I know that life’s hard, and sometimes feels lite
But look in my eyes and choose not to die*
