Chapter 8 - The Wilted gem

We were a blooming critter when we met,

We drank water within the lake of adulate.

I ponder to why it suddenly faded,

I gaze back to the lake we once shared,

only for it to be demolished by the sea of melancholy.

I knew that your tome of flame was vanishing.

I gave you enormous comfort with just dinky words,

I couldn't say farewell to the corrosive who gave me Gehenna,

Instead I welcomed it with warm shoulder only for it to pierce my core—manifold of times.

I could write a multiple epode of your affection towards me,

Or even the melancholy you gave me.

Do you remember the day I said:

"I wanted you to feel comfortable first."

The throe of lake and the sea of despondency swallowed you whole,

Yet you still shines on the empyrean.

A wilted gem with lucent mind,

I'll pledge to cherish you evermore.

The lucent Spinel I adore,

don't fade into the domicile of forlornness.

I'll be the lantern and star in the mountain of your hollowness.
