So, just as a back story, I have been thinking about writing a Twilight fanfic for a few weeks now, but I just haven't been able to bring myself to do it. Why fantasize about some Twilight event that will never happen with Breaking Dawn being released in just a few short weeks? I needed to do something to help speed up the waiting though. I started reading some of the fanfics that were out already…trying to ease myself into writing…but still, no inspiration came.
Then, out of nowhere, I heard the song "Memories" by Within Temptation while I was listening to Pandora radio, and, like a semi truck, my muse hit me upside the head and said, "why aren't you writing this down?!"
I thought I would post the lyrics here as a prologue to my fantasy Twilight story so that you all would have a better understanding of where I was coming from while I was writing this, and in hopes that I can pass my violent muse to someone else looking for inspiration.
Prologue
In this world you tried
not leaving me alone behind
There's no other way
I prayed to the gods let him stay
The memories ease the pain inside,
now I know why
All of my memories keep you near
In silent moments imagine you'd be here
All of my memories keep you near
Your silent whispers, silent tears
Made me promise I'd try
to find my way back in this life
I hope there is a way
to give me a sign you're ok
Reminds me again it's worth it all
so I can go home
All of my memories keep you near
In silent moments imagine you'd be here
All of my memories keep you near
Your silent whispers, silent tears
Together in all these memories
I see your smile all the time
All the memories I hold dear
Darling, you know I'll love you
'til the end of time
All of my memories keep you near
In silent moments imagine you'd be here
All of my memories keep you near
Your silent whispers, silent tears
All of my memories...
I do need to make clear that I do not own these lyrics in any way, shape, or form. They belong to Within Temptation and I leave them here in tribute to their amazing talent.
