Carry On – A Vampire Knight fanfic by Love Inc.
That lonely rose on the floor,
Please allow me to give you more,
I give myself, entirely to you,
Ease my pain whatever you do.
A deep crimson, the color you paint,
The very same color I used to hate.
I look up and down,
Walls look back from all around,
Here I am all alone,
And for my sins I now atone.
Tears now blind my tired eyes,
Can't you hear my desperate cries?
I want to leave this world which I hate,
I'm so sick of all this heartache.
And so this is why, my precious friend,
I yearn for the comfort which you so eagerly lend,
My soul is empty, I feel nothing,
So please my lady tell me something.
Will you welcome me once more?
And let me beach upon your soothing shore.
Sing to me my queen,
Take me to a place I have never been.
Provide me with the salvation which I have craved,
Allow for even my soul to be saved,
Lend me a hand to ease my pain,
Wash through me with your cleansing rain.
Will you protect me?
Let me rest, and become who I want to be.
Your gentle touch sends shivers down my spine,
You and I shall be one in time.
One day will you sing to me a lullaby?
Caress me gently until the day I die,
Hold me close, dry my tears,
Take away all of my darkest fears.
Until that day comes, however,
I'll just have to continue on with this endeavor
Looking back, perhaps we may never see each other,
Never even the chance to pass one another.
I've never depended upon anyone, why should I start now,
My heart to you I shall never endow.
I work alone,
I sit on my own throne.
I don't need you to light my path,
Instead onto you I shall direct my wrath.
I'll ease my own pain, the only way I know how,
You are my witness, and to this I vow.
I walk alone,
Why should I be the only one to atone?
I've already lost everything,
So why should I need you to make me feel something.
I'm no fool, but a master of disguise,
I'll find you one day, the very same day you meet your demise.
Instead I shall live hard and long,
And fight with all my strength to carry on.
