Author's Note: This is a poem I wrote about some original characters from the Escaflowne story "Soulmates" It's a really good story, which you can read here: http://fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=483576

I think it's pretty clear. Girl in love with boy. Boy in love with girl. Both on mission to help save country. Boy sacrifices himself to save girl and mission. I don't want to go too in depth in case you read the story so...!! Enjoy!



Heaven With You



By: Lauren







You turn your head

And scream for me to run

I stubbornly refuse

I know I can't move



I'm supposed to be a warrior

I'm not supposed to cry

But I should grieve over my loss

For I'm only human



You stand tall and proud

While you wield your sword

Ready to face the demon

To shun the licking tongues of hell from us



Your back to me

I can't see

"Run!" You command me

"No!!" I sob. "Don't die! I love you!!"



But you already know my words

You reflect the same in your heart

With a shove you push me to safety

And you're consumed by the flames



Now wrought with strife

I hide my loss, hide the pain

I hold dear the words I sought from you

Only one thing is left for me to do



I march on with my mission

"Your death shall not be in vain." I vow

I know I'll see you again, one day

I will protect the young girl first, before I rest



I will help save our world

Even though I couldn't save you

We fight for peace

Blood. Demons. Destruction.



Light. Hope. Love.

Six words I know so directly

Those are the last things I see

Before a calming peace surrounds me



I helped complete our goals

My part in the play of life is done

I take my bow and disappear

Finally, now I can run into your arms



Basking in the golden sunlight

Clouds of pure white held up

In an ocean-like sky

With luscious green grass



And I am with you

With my love

Your lips against mine

This must be heaven

With this wonderful bliss



And I know that my thoughts are true

I am in heaven...

I am in heaven...

...With you...
