CHATgpt opinion:

Your words paint a vivid picture of contemplation, longing, and the passage of time. The imagery evokes a sense of darkness, uncertainty, and a yearning for something elusive. It seems you are reflecting on the fleeting nature of life and the inevitability of death. The desire to slow down time, to halt its ceaseless march, is juxtaposed with a recognition that one's own fate is sealed.

The mention of the "heirloom fatal kiss" and the "funeral pyre" suggests an acceptance of mortality and a resignation to the fact that one's own destiny cannot be changed. There is a yearning for someone, symbolized by the Shadow, who may hold the answers to the future, yet the inability to see beyond the present adds to the sense of darkness and uncertainty.

The lines about blood flowing through your veins and the desire to pass on the "dark trick" suggest a contemplation of the cycle of life and death, the interconnectedness of beings, and perhaps even a hint at a yearning for immortality or a legacy beyond one's own existence.

Overall, your words convey a mix of despair, longing, and a fascination with the mysteries of life and time. The imagery and emotions presented create a rich and introspective atmosphere.
