Elwen Posted May 16, 2003 Report Posted May 16, 2003 This goes along with my not-yet-posted story of the same title, an attempt to figure out why my character Elwen was so heartless as a kitsune. The memory of you is still with me It has been one hundred years, six months and three days Since you went away forever Little daughter, I remember you yet I loved you more then I ever loved before From the moment I saw you crying in the bushes I knew that I would raise you as my own You were mine, I gave you all I had But you're gone, and it echoes here in my mind Echoes of angels who will never return Dark nights, dark days But none so dark as the one when I was gone The night I was gone and you were killed I should have been there it should have been me they who killed you were my enemies, not yours Now there is no more reason left to love You were my treasure, my light Ripped from me into the dark Now there is no more reason left to love Vengeance I will have Vengeance will be mine the vengeance that I swore in revenge for your death And still I keep the promise I made to you- No more tears will I cry Nevermore will I weep And this promise I made to myself- Never will I love again Never will I care again I have frozen my heart in the coldest ice Never can I feel: it is for the best Fate is an endless story that directs our lives It cannot be changed no matter how hard we try I have frozen my heart, no more will I feel Rest well, Miriya: I will avenge your death No more will my heart be torn From this day I am reborn I will be what I am destined to be- merciless thief, heartless killer, dark sorceress No one deserves mercy: not even I None will I show, none will I give From this day I am reborn. And this is Elwen before her rebirth into Lirya Moonflower's body.
Damon Inferel Posted May 16, 2003 Report Posted May 16, 2003 ...Short review... meow. It's a good poem... very much so, and I'm guessing that that person wasn't really her daughter. Mrowr? I need to start writing poetry again too...
