(This is a little drabble I wrote, not a poem but if that's a problem I'll take it out. I'm not sure if songfic's are allowed, if not tell me ASAP. PLEASE. Lyrics are from Nightingale, by Nightwish. Italicized, for anybody who hasn't realized that yet...think of this as an apology for my extremely slow updates! POV? I'll keep that to myself, I hate shippers. I don't even usually like the pairing. Yes, the girl is Raven- this IS a Raven-listed fanfic, after all! Thespeaker you can imagine as anybody.)
What does the free fall feel like?
Asks the boy with a spark in his eye Know why the nightingale sings?
Is the answer to everything
I shouldn't have believed her, that she was okay. I should have held her close, and whispered enchanted words to bind that raging pain. I only watched her slip away under a veil of darkness until, at last, she was human no more.
Taking a step to a world unbound
Spinning my fantasies all around
Freed from the gravital leash
I swear the heaven's in my reach
Cloaked in dreams and fantasies, falling to the tempting lure of Hell's caress. It was a dragon and a devil who drove her to insanity, and her own black heritage that imprisoned her there.
Dancing with the spirit of the air
In this ocean so open and fair
Making love to the gods above
On my maiden voyage so bold
Yet the question that torments me now is not how to save my love- but whether. The four of us can escape to each other to soothe out pain, but who can she flee to? Try how we might, sometimes it's too late to tame the stray. Perhaps this is all that she has left, all she has ever had. Am I a heavenly angel pulling her to salvation, or a tormentor dragging her back to the searing light?
Landing safely to the blue lagoon
Don't know if this is the earth or the moon
Joy of living is no more a mask
The Eden I found will forever last
She was beautiful, beautiful and feral and lost. Pale smile never quite reaching haunted violet eyes, shadows whispering softly in her ear. Driving her into a frenzy, a madness borne from lies and silence and the inevitable. In a way, she was always doomed.
My demon, my angel, my astral beauty; you did not believe me when I promised forever yet I did not lie. Without you, I am but ashes and lovelorn shards.
You will never follow me into the world of day...
Let us spiral into midnight's madness together.
Migrating with the geese
My soul has finally found peace
Doesn't matter that man has no wings
As long as I hear the nightingale sing...
