Forever To Yourself Be True

All is quiet, and it's eerie
how the day sits calm and ready
after pulverizing night into a million pieces.
Is this what was needed? I have doubts,
but not so many that regret creeps in.
This could not be avoided or conceded, no,
it had to run its course. But what comes next?
Perhaps a time of rest and healing, or perhaps
a birth of love, but now, in either case,
let's praise the gods that brought us here
and see them face to face.

These gods were jealous, and they would not
let things be, and now for you and me
a tug ties us together, though it sets us free.
Remember me, as I remember you, and to yourself
be true. Forever to yourself be true.
