I'm really nervous about this poem. I have never written a romance poem before, and I have NEVER written first person or present tense. *bites nails* Should I write a sequel from Merlin's point of view or even a story about this? Well, you have to read the poem first, so READ ON! :D
Forgiveness
You tell me you're sorry
That you had no other choice
It was either me or Camelot
And, there's sadness in your voice
But how can I believe you, after all the lies
I want to forgive you, forget that awful day
But it's so hard, so hard
I don't know what to say
There you stand before me, pleading
Your eyes swirl with unshed tears
And, I want with all my heart
To cast out all my deepest fears
That I'm a freak, a monster, really
That I will be betrayed again
That I'm pure evil, no one can save me
But, then you're there; you take my hand
I find myself saying it's okay
And, I realize that I believe it, too
I'll never be afraid again,
As long as I am still with you
Your smile melts my heart of ice
I feel you draw me close to you
And, I look into your eyes,
Eyes so caring, eyes so true
A dam inside me is broken,
I fling my arms around your neck
And, your lips brush against mine
Tears wet my cheeks; I'm sure I look a wreck
Our tears mix together
And, my broken heart begins to mend
There's still hope for me yet
Nothing will ever be the same again
And, I melt into your embrace, safe as I'll ever be
For, I have you, my guardian angel, always by my side
Working together, there's nothing we can't do
In you, I can confide
I want to tell you all my darkest secrets
As I pull back, you brush away my tears
No more lies, not anymore
And, I tell you everything, my hopes my dreams, my fears
