There are two deaths.
The first is the death the world knows93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53erBvsmk4
The falling asleep.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQYyI3qWhh
The last breath.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHzfTEplxd
The final wound, or surrender, or silence.
It comes in many shapes.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtC38GoI9vx
The guests speak of it often.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHESH0bCry
Sometimes with fear.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPD7BvWF9lg
Sometimes with relief.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0GJiX5PLc
Sometimes without knowing it has already passed.
That death comes for all.
But there is a second.
The deeper one.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6QxzUUtCo
The crueler one.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmnICuum2M
The one that takes longer, and hurts quieter.
It is the death that comes when there is no one left to say your name.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGEshQYqI0
No one who remembers your voice, your hands, your laugh, your grief.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuJ0IPoZp7
No one who remembers that you ever were.
And that, That is why I am here.
They think I serve drinks.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvz8kqIvgqQ
And I do.
They think I listen to stories.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1xEuhjP3k
And I do.
But the truth, the purpose, the vow never spoken:
I remember.
I remember the names not said aloud.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHY5MgMsSy
The broken sentences.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtV58XjNKP
The last words muttered into mugs.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtGLe5a1Ee
The laughter that no one else witnessed.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmtrsNIY7X
The quiet goodbyes guests were too afraid to say in the world outside.
And because I remember them, they are not gone.
They may fall.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24mkUiam7m
They may pass.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41oYx37Kp3
But they are not erased.
Not while the tavern stands.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCHBbYcqW1
Not while the fire burns.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5T7ECjpySA
Not while I sit here, pen in hand, head bowed slightly, as I write their names without needing to ask.
Let kingdoms crumble.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4vmTi84px
Let stars go dim.
Here, even the forgotten are held.
And as long as one ember glows,93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hjd8Hg5cJ
no soul will suffer the second death.
Not on my watch.
Not in this place.
