Authors note: End_Of_Era here, though I'm generally found towards the Oregairu section of FanFiction, my recent watching of Your Lie In April inspired me to produce this small piece. Though I've never written poetry before so please excuse me if it could be better thank you :)
My Everlasting Hope
What is hope if not but three simple words?
It's our aspirations and dreams, never too lofty, and never absurd,
Appearing in my life, so angelic and pure, yet your existence so fleeting, and your condition no cure,
In a colourless world, you sparkled so bright, your notes everlasting, my twinkling star at night.
Your lie in April, the most eloquent of phrase,
However our love was true, not the latest fad, nor the newest craze,
I'll forever wonder, how you lived through that pain, the tears shed alone, what kept you sane?
Your lie was white, the candle of my dreams, replenishing my resolve, before I tore at the seams.
You told me to live on, always struggle strive and succeed,
Never accept failure, Your objective is to believe,
If only you spoke those words, and allowed our hearts to entwine,
Our boundless love, forever encapsulated in time.
Those extravagant techniques, with delicate features in tow,
In this portrait called life, forever stealing the show,
Your beauty unquestionable, with a future so bleak, your unprecedented talent, snatched before your peak,
Your wishes immortalised, whilst I anxiously took my seat, if only you'd known, how my heart skipped a beat.
The cherry blossoms will fall, before the suns dazzling light, no matter the season, you eternally burned bright,
Though I may never be alone, with Tsubaki by my side, you can't fathom my hurt, to hell with my pride,
My unrequited love, will surely never come true,
I asked what is hope? Kaori, my answer is you.
