Disclaimer: The Moulin Rouge story belongs to Baz Luhrmann, not me.
Author's Note: Inspired by Cinna (Hindi Sad Diamonds)'s brilliant story, Darkness, My Friend.
Dedication: For Cryssa (PepsiAngel) that she might have an awesome birthday. It's not Harry Potter, and it's not exactly uplifting…but…it's the thought that counts, I hope. :o)
Like You
You always wished to fly away
And near so much did I…
To soar eternally throughout
That metaphoric sky
You've got your wish now, in effect,
But me, I wait to die
(like you)
Freedom embodied
My confines
You tinted my world blazing red
And blew rain clouds away
Yes, with you all was perfect
And no blemish held its sway
Now the sky has clouded over
And earth's a trampled gray
(like you)
Beauty embodied
My decay
Without you, had I written,
I'd have gotten it all wrong:
A tale of love unending
Full of merriness and song.
But it wouldn't be a story
Unless something went awry
(like you)
Truth embodied
My great lie
You were my greatest teacher,
And you taught the truest things –
Not only the one lesson
That the magic sitar sings…
But that dreams are always woken
And that hearts will always break
(like you)
Love embodied
My mistake
