Rekindling the First Flame

Far beneath the shrine
I sit here and wait
For a thousand years
In a state of despair
Waiting for the one
To come and end me
And hopefully once again
Restore the first flame

For many years I've tried
But many times I've failed
And all who I've trusted
Are no longer themselves
Whether it be physical
Or possibly mental
They no longer resemble
Thеir once past selves

As I silеntly sit here
The flame that's before me
Becomes a reflection
Of my consequences
For now I can see
What damage is done
And now I can see
What I'll soon become

The fire has now faded
I watch it die out
And just like my soul
There's no spark of life
