Remember Your Destiny - By Gabrielle
.
Cheeks wet with tears, I mourned.
My head pillowed upon your sweet breast
Already grown cold as the blistering snow
Howling maniacally outside these four walls.
.
That strong body I had loved, countless times.
In my dreams. Will never know the caress of my lips
Or the worship of my hands. Having passed up every
Opportunity to learn the secrets they hold so dear.
.
Awake, I am haunted by your sarcophagus.
In slumber, I relive your very last breath,
My every struggle up that mountain, through
The cold, the pain. All for naught, all too late.
.
I cried, I pleaded, I begged, I screamed.
But you ignored them all. Uncaring, cruel.
Off on your merry way, with nary a thought for
Me. Leaving me behind, alone, abandoned, scared.
.
So much more to be said, to be done.
Am I never going to get another chance?
This emptiness that threatens to engulf me,
All because I love you. Without you, I can't go on.
.
If only there was something I could do
Or say, to bring you back by my side, to never
Leave me. Gladly would I sacrifice anything,
Everything, to have your arms around me once again.
.
Come back to me Xena, please.
Remember your destiny.
