This is my first ever attempt at a songfic. Review please!
The song is On Your Shore by Enya. It's a wonderful song and it makes me cry! It makes me cry even more now.
Anyway, on, on brave friends, on to the glory of fiction!
Please Review!!!
Strange how my heart beats
To find myself upon your shore
I feel nothing but peace. Strange how I am unafraid of death. Once, I would have been. So much to live for, I may have said, so much to hope for but finding myself here, in my last moments I feel no fear.
Strange how I still feel
My loss of comfort gone before
I watched them die. All the people I have loved, all the people I ever cared about. They were the good people and I lost everything. Perhaps I will be with them, the many people whose lives were lost. We tried to defeat evil. And together there was nothing we could not do.
Cool waves wash over
And drift away with dreams of youth
I feel no pain now. Everything is fading.
So time is stolen
I cannot hold you long enough
My time is running out. So many things I could have done. And the things I did. I have memories but slowly, slowly they are fading too. I will hold on to my memories, as long as I can. And a few more seconds, they may feel like an eternity, but it will be over.
And so
This is where I should be now
I suppose this is fate, this is right. I suppose this is where I'm meant to be. This is where it ends for me. I could never see a future anyway.
Days and nights falling by
Days and nights falling by me
It is dark, it is light. It is everything all at once.
There is movement around me, and yet perfect stillness.
Do I go on, do I turn back? Do I sleep at last?
I know
Of a dream I should be holding
Perhaps I should be holding on to it. Holding on to the life, being stubborn and refusing to fulfil this destiny.
But I see no reason. I have played my part.
Days and nights falling by
Days and nights falling by me
The noise is deafening yet the silence is complete.
Everything is leaving, leaving me alone. Where did it all go?
But I do not think our efforts were wasted. I do not think our lives were given in vain.
Soft blue horizons
Reach far into my childhood days
A few last thoughts, senseless images now. A smiling face, a tormented scream. Far away emotions, fear, anxiety, love, happiness and heart breaking despair.
The faces of some people I once knew, at last at peace.
As you are rising
To bring me my forgotten ways
Everything will be alright. And everything has gone. Forever has an end after all.
Strange how I falter
To find I'm standing in deep water
I am nothing now. I look back and see a place I do not belong but I am reluctant to leave, although I know I must.
I only hope I did enough.
Strange how my heart beats
To find I'm standing on your shore
Strange, but I am unafraid.
