That I often think
Of how
Will and Lyra's story ended
They knew
That while one lives
The other cannot survive
That they would wither
In each other's lands
And what I thought
Was fantasy
Comes back to haunt me
Again and again
Because it is true
Every day, every where
For every people
That none can survive
In alien lands
Alien hands
And each would wither
In the other's sanctuary
And so Will and Lyra
Parted ways
Just so that
They could each
Live full lives
And this
Was greater to them
Than being together
If only
I had had
That courage
