Hey guys! I haven't written anything since August and since I'm on break I thought this would be a good time to upload something. I actually wrote this ode for my creative writing class. I'd been wanting to write a Merlin fanfic and this was the perfect opportunity. I wanted to try my hand at writing romance and I don't think there are nearly enough Freylin fanfics out there so, TADA! This is my first poem fanfic and my first Merlin fanfic! XD

Enjoy! Leave a review and tell me what you think! I hope you all had a very happy Thanksgiving! :)

Warning: Angst

Disclaimer: I don't own Merlin... ;~;

To the Lady of the Lake

My Lady,
My love
My first love

My lady,

My heart longs for you

My arms ache to hold you

My ears crave your lovely voice

My eyes wish to gaze upon your gentle face again

My lips cry out for yours to kiss them sweetly as you once did
Only once

My love,

I wanted only for you to see yourself through my eyes

I wanted for your safety

I wanted for your happiness

I am sorry that I could not grant you these while you were with me

My first love,

I wanted you to be free; I wanted to be free with you

Surrounded by mountains and fields bursting with wildflowers

No threat of the ax poised over our necks
Or the noose around our throats
Or the pyre at our feet

I suppose my wish was partly granted

You are surrounded by mountains and fields full of wildflowers

Fear and pain can no longer hold you

Your watery grave is now your kingdom

Knowing this

Makes the magic that courses through my veins burn less

It makes my heart lighter and my days brighter

I cannot be with you yet

I must serve my prince

And protect my kingdom

I must be happy for your happiness

And try to find mine

Know that I love you

Until we meet again,

My lady

P.S.

The font that I typed this in is called Bitter. I thought it was fitting.
