For Once & For All

#vj69Ai #storyteller #story #ending #ForOnceAndForAll I built this gate with my own hands A fragile arch of hopeful stone I called it “peace,” I called it “home” A place where you would never go I left it open, just a crack A whispered wish upon the wind But then you came, and I forgot The weight of what I held within So now I close it, for once and for all This door I should never have opened at all Let the iron fall, let the stone grow cold This is the story that never gets told For once and for all I thought that strength was letting you in A warrior’s foolish, final stand But every welcome was a wound Every touch was shifting sand I see your shadow on the wall A ghost I can no longer keep This love was never meant for war This heart was never meant to bleed So now I close it, for once and for all This door I should never have opened at all Let the iron fall, let the stone grow cold This is the story that never gets told For once and for all What is a kingdom, without the cost What is a victory, when everything is lost I will not wander where I’m not meant to be I will not ask the sea to hold me ...I am the shore. So now I close it, for once and for all This door I should never have opened at all Let the iron fall, let the stone grow cold This is the story that never gets told For once… …and for all
