Whoa. Clichéd MatthewxLeila that was done on a crazy whim.
Half free-verse, half rhyme; sort of like how Matthew keeps shifting between dreams and reality, after Leila died. Enjoy.
Love's Memory
Loving is a gift to the living,
An amazing emotion
That we all comprehend
Every heart beats for love, this gift
From heaven above
Never fading, till the end.
-
Dearest one of mine, you're still nearest
Can you see me, from Heaven?
How I grieve for your smile…
Through the daytime, I act like I
Don't feel any pain
Countless hours left to while
-
When night falls, I
Watch the stars, where
Once, we stargazed together
Never caring how the world was faring
When we had one another…
-
Why then did you leave me so early?
Up till now, I am mourning,
My whole life torn in two!
How I wish you were here and standing
Right at my side
I miss walking next to you.
-
-
Every night, I
Close my eyes
It's almost like you are with me
I take your hand, and we can dance together
But, then, you'll fade at morning…
-
Tell me, where you stand, can you see me?
Will you always recall me,
Though my memories fade?
Now I wonder, is love a blessing?
Is it a curse?
For it cuts me, like a blade…
If you haven't noticed, it's to the tune of Memory from Cats.
