Babbling from the Author: This is actually a multi-part poem with the pairing Yuhya/Lilica in the limelight, inspired by Maki's fanfic Fragments of Nostalgia, also posted here on FF.net, (Please read it. It's a very nice ficcie.) and Evanescence's song Even In Death. I actually planned to write the whole thing in prose, but came up with a poem due to fickle-minded reasons. This is also my first fanfic after so many years, so as early as now, I would like to apologize for my rusty writing skills. XP Anyways, I think I'd better stop babbling now. Hope you enjoy reading this!

My dearest Yuhya…
As misfortune befalls us,
Death stealthily takes its toll,
Compelling us to its evanescent power.
I can hear the moaning sorrow,
Lurking in the shadows,
Cutting, piercing into the depths of my heart,
Its whispers silently echoing in the vast halls of my mind,
Its darkness blinding me, its silence deafening me.
All of a sudden, my world seems to have come to an end.
And I would scream in the silence,
My voice calling your name
Beckoning endlessly for you to stay,
But nothing responds to my desperate call
Only the darkness whispering in the cold.
I know now that nothing can make you return to me.
Time flew from my hands and I lost my grip.
I have but only memories of you.
As the days go by, one by one I seem to drop them,
And I dread the day I shall forget you,
When my heart shall be freed from your loss.
Please save me from oblivion's call.
Hope comes in tiny clandestine steps
Shining forth a light that gives life back
To my soul, forlorn, lost, scarred,
Constantly seeking its warmth and comfort…
You exist to be my silent witness
As your presence continues to linger.
I can feel the warmth of your embrace,
My safe haven from the fright and the cold.
I can hear your voice
Singing a melodious hymn,
Consoling my wretched soul.
I can see you once again,
Bringing the colors back to my blinded faith.
My spirit flies with you
Bound by your passing existence.
Though death had done us part,
Still my heart longs for you, my true love.
Come back to me, my dearest!
Take my poor soul with you
And let our love breathe once again.
Together we shall find peace in a humble paradise,
Where our love shall flourish in eternity.
More Babbling from the Author: I actually plan to write a total of six (or so) parts for this fanfic (hence an "opus"), but I realize that this poem can pretty much stand on its own. I realize too that this can also apply to other pairings on Yuhya (this poem at least)... Sorry again for my rusty writing skills. Please take time to review this. Thank you very much!
