Dormant Life
A/N: Hey guys, this is my first published piece on here, so sorry if it's really bad.
It's an original poem (with a minor reference to my second favorite song, A Thousand Years by cristina perri) and it's supposed to be a poem written by Glinda after Elphaba and Fiyero leave Oz. I put it in italics because it looks pretty. So, um, here's a little, better worded, summary:
Glinda knows her Elphie is still alive, but in love with Fiyero, so the blonde takes her pain out in words on paper.
Disclaimer: i don't own anything wicked, but I own the poem because I wrote it.
Ok, enjoy. if anything makes no sense, remember this is poetry. It doesn't have to.
~Dormant Life~
You touched my life
You stained my heart
You shattered my soul
You tore me apart
But I am still here
Still living, breathing, staying
Mayhaps not loving
But still waking, walking, praying
Whether I still love you
Or whether I love you not
How you still keep so much of me
That will never be sold and bought
Keep me with you
Because when you met me
You set my skin ablaze
You stopped my flee
I know how you feel
So go and love
Love one who can see you as I do
Who puts you, nothing else, above
Do not give me back
That is not what I want
Keep me in your hand
Hold my heart taunt
And while we each want another
While I lie to my own face
Know you have keep part
Never to replace
I may hurt on the inside
Bide my time and wait
Wait till I am free from you
Though it may well be too late
I want you to sail across the ocean
Turn and face the sun; smile
Without you I can be
Walk alone the mile
Be free of me, my heart, my soul
Be free of my rhymes and line
You know I don't love her, Sir Chuffery, anymore
Not in my heart still mine
Lies are easy, truths are hard
People are placed for a reason
Be it a minute, day, month
A season
A thousand years can still play
Can still bring tears inside
But now I can keep it all inside
A broken, worn, tired mind
Too still love one
One who is not here today
One who thinks I would
Though I would never walk away
Sleep now, my active volcano
Dormant life is just ahead
Go on, active volcano
Let me rest my head
