I LOST IT ALL

The sky is calm now.

No black sun.

No shattered heavens.

Just silence.

⸻

I walk the ground where suns once burned,

Ash still warm where worlds were turned,

Every lesson slowly learned

Too late.

I thought the fire meant I was strong,

Thought I could carry all along,

But strength was just surviving long

Enough to see.

His voice still echoes in my chest,

Not as rage, not as a test,

Just a truth I can’t forget —

We were the same.

One step different in the night,

One more loss, one more fight,

And I would’ve lost the light

Just like him.

⸻

I lost it all in the end,

Every brother, every friend,

Every road that didn’t bend

Back home.

Two suns burning in my soul,

One I saved and one I stole,

Now the silence takes its toll

Alone.

⸻

Red still glows beneath the scars,

Black still hums where shadows are,

Two lives written in the stars

Inside me.

Darius’ shield I still can feel,

Seris’ flame that never healed,

Every wound that time concealed

Still breathes.

He wasn’t evil, he was tired,

Hope collapsed and grief conspired,

And the fire he once admired

Turned cold.

Now I carry what remains,

Every victory, every pain,

Every version of my name

Together.

⸻

I lost it all just to stand,

Watched the world slip through my hands,

Watched the sky break like the land

Beneath us.

Not a hero, not a crown,

Just the last flame still around,

Listening to the sound

Of memory.

⸻

I fought him like an enemy.

But he was grief.

I struck him like a monster.

But he was me.

Maybe the fire was never meant

To save the world.

Maybe it was meant

To survive it.

⸻

I lost it all and I remain,

Carrying the ash and flame,

Carrying the weight of names

Forever.

Two suns once tore the sky apart,

Now they rest inside one heart,

If peace means living with the scars —

I will.

⸻

The wind moves through the ruins.

The sun rises slowly.

And the flame that survived…

Walks on.
