Fireflies
Hotaru ( Poem)
By takada-san
It was the 14th of May,
And all I can do is pray,
That he won't leave on this day,
But fate has left me astray.
----
I watched the fireflies lit up,
As I waited for him by the river.
He was going to meet me tonight,
And I felt nothing but fright.
----
I turned and saw his face,
He came out from the darkness in such slow pace.
His amethyst eyes then smiled sadly,
And there I knew, he'll leave me badly.
----
He spoke kind words to me,
And then hugged me gently,
My throat had suddenly ran dry,
And I can't do anything there but cry.
----
He released me slowly from his embrace,
And apologized for what he has made,
And for a second, to me he passed by,
His sorrowful eyes bid me 'goodbye.'
----
My knees had weakened and I cried on the ground,
Saying his name, hoping he'd hear my sound,
But he didn't look back and kept on walking,
He left me with the fireflies while I was mourning.
----
The fireflies danced around me,
Laughing and mocking me silently,
My time has stopped, my world has ended,
And there they were, dancing as if nothing happened.
Author's Ramblings: this was actually almost the same as my fic "hotaru", i just made it in poetry format. i was actually going to pass it for the school paper, i'm a staffer of the paper and decided to pass this one together with the fanart i made of kenshin hugging kaoru (we all know that tear-jerking moment), i'm also one of the artists of the paper so i decided to add the art. anyways, i want to know if you like it or if i should do some editing.
read and review, minna! arigatou!
