Disclaimer: Record of Lodoss War isn't mine. It's too bad, really, even though it's been awhile since I've watched the show OR read the manga. But come on. It rocks. You gotta admit it.
Summary: Deedlit's thoughts about her immortal life as she visits Parn's grave. (We all know it's going to happen because he's mortal and she isn't.)
Eternity
By: Spellcastre
I could live longer than forever
I could put on a smile
But my heart will never heal
I need to see you near me
I need you to hold me close to you
I need to feel your strong fingers running
Streaking through my hair
But you won't return
I finally curse it to be true
As I lay down a string
Of forget-me-nots
And my fingers gingerly trace
The name engraved…
It's your name…
It's this immortality
It curses me
I can't ever join you
I'm painted with eternity
A gentle tear
The silver blue
I find it with my hand
And chase it away
I know you would have done it
If you were here
I get up to leave
My loving whisper
Carries through the air
Hoping that somewhere
You can hear me
My love for you will not cease to exist
Ever…
Just like me…
You lived
And you died
But I'm still here
You left me here
To face this torture inside
And the last thing that I say…
…I don't want eternity.
