Wax

Falling girl, where have you been?
>I've been floating here unseen
Why were you away so long?
>I had to wait 'til hope was gone
What awaits us in the easts?
>The great vanishing of the priests
Why are there spots in the sky?
>The world is stretched too thin, that is why
Falling girl, where is your sister?
>It's been too long; I fear I've missed her
Then who shall be your second half?
>Her progeny and me will form the staff
What will it be like to die?
>It's a most mournful goodbye
