Last goodbye

Couldn’t save you from the start
Love you so it hurts my soul
Can you forgive me for trying again?
Your silence makes me hold my breath
All the time has passed you by

For so long, I’ve tried to shield you from the world
You couldn’t face the freedom on your own
Here I am
Left in silence

You gave up the fight
You left me behind
All that stands forgiven
You’ll always be mine
I know deep inside
All that stands forgiven

Watched the clouds drifting away
Still the sun can’t warm my face
I know it was destined to go wrong
You were looking for the great escape
To chase your demons away

Big P & P Spoilers ahead!
(I'm so sorry to give this big spoilers, but those of you who don't mind, read ahead )
This is Zardra, saying his last goodbyes to his true love, Spÿr, the golden dragon Lord who was his lover for centuries. --> [link]
Slowly, during the centuries, blackness devoured the dragon Lords mind and soul and without ever saying anything, he abandoned Zardra, only making him think it was all his own fault when all that time Spÿr only tried to protect his demon lover.
Spÿr, as his last deed, sacrificed himself to save Zardra's life and finally confessed him that he had always loved Zardra. Nothing was left of Spÿr except for his golden ashes.

Yay, I painted with ink, it's been really long since I did that. This was first painted with ink, then coloured under and over the painting to make the fun colour effect and the spirit thingies and stuff. This took about 8 hours maybe?

Mediums: Indian ink, markers, copics, Photoshop CS2, OpenCanvas 4.
