I Remember You
When the stars have all fallen
Fallen embers of fire upon the ground
Vibrating like a bowstring
Pulsing like a broken heart
I'll still remember you
And when the trees are all down
Sticks and trunks, burning wood left in ash
Twisted like broken fingers reaching for peace
I will always remember you.
When the sky is all black
Like the night
Forever in shadow
Never turning blue
I'll remember you.
When the families are gone
Slaughtered by the enemy
Their screams echoing
Blood spilled, like wine, upon the ground
I'll remember you
When I try and hide
Hide from my feelings
Memories haunt me
Screams of rage rip from my throat
And I remember
I remember your kindness
Shown and realized
Yet distant you felt
Concealed from your emotion
Hidden from me
Deadly with the glaive
Cutting down the enemy
Feared
But loved by me
I remember you took that arrow
With a cry you fell off the saddle, into the dirt
Gasping with each ragged breath
Blood spilled, on my hands but I didn't care
Tears shed, dampening my cheeks
I remember you smiled at me as I held your hand
So beautiful and fragile, like a flower
I remember the skin so cold, the eyes so bright
My eyes so wet, throat so dry
The sunlight so joyful, ground so dark
So different, yet the same
You don't remember me, but I remember you
When I dream, I dream of you
So free, so strong
When I think of you, I wish you knew
I wish you knew of my love
But still I remember you
I try and hide
Hide from the torture the memories bring
I wish to die, I wish to live
I don't know anymore
But still I remember you
I will always remember you
The one whom I loved
The Protector of the Small
Kel.
