Lamentations of a Swordswoman
I met you only a little after you met her
She who was fair as the myriad skies of dawn
She who was gentle as the kiss of the wind
'Gainst heated skin.
Fair Tilith, who had seduced you with her wiles,
Led you away from me, to a distant place
A place where I could not reach you.
Without you, I was incomplete
A pen without ink.
A cross with no relic.
For how could a mere swordswoman
Whom had naught but her blade
Compare to a goddess of the highest order?
Many a month passed before you returned to me
To the land that you had once experienced with me
You came without her, brokenhearted at your loss
I comforted you, I gave you strength when you had none
And after many months, I began to fill the chasm in my heart
A chasm that I had thought might never be filled.
Many a time, once your ordeals have been completed
And my service over,
You came to me, to be embraced
In the womb of concern.
I was happy, and I felt fulfilled
For the chasm in my heart had slowly been filled.
I was with you, and you were with me
Like two animals in fast water
Clinging onto each other
Each with troubles and losses of their own.
You fell for me, and years after you had returned,
All the pieces of the puzzle that had been your quest,
My trial, and the taxing time that we had suffered,
They all came into place.
We were happy together, for a time,
However, one day, you collapsed in the garden,
Breathing hard, skin sallow, pale as alabaster.
You laid in bed, growing weaker, and weaker still
My heart felt like a fragile crystal, waiting to shatter should the slightest force touch it.
There was nothing we could do, but to end your suffering.
Eventually you passed on,
But on your deathbed, you gave me one last gift.
You reached towards me, kissed me for the last time, and with your final breath
Whispered "Seria" and passed onto the next life.
And I have kept that memory alive in perpetuity all this time.
I am elderly now, and I do not have much time myself.
But for every day I lived that you could not, I thank whoever had blessed me
With such a life with you, however short,
Many a time.
I've lived a good life, with few regrets
The only regret I have is that our time together was too short.
But I know I'll see you again.
Whether it be the next life, or another.
And always and forever more, as perpetual as the ever blazing stars,
Know that I love you still.
