REQUIEMS
A Father's Requiem
Demons and fire! I've got more reviews for "A Mother's Requiem" than my stories! It's wonderful to see so many people enjoying my poem(s).
CrimsonGENE: Wow, thank you! I really am touched! I'm shocked that "A Mother's Requiem" was able to that; I didn't think it would have such a huge affect on people.
shadowroiben: Whoa, I wasn't expecting anyone to get teary-eyed from the last poem. It seemed to move a lot people emotionally. Thanks for reviewing!
Shadsie Black: I am glad I didn't disappoint you. You cried too? It's so weird to look at "A Mother's Requiem" and think how much it affected people. Then again, all of them are tragic so I guess it is to be expected. Hope you like this next one.
Frodo007: Thank you again for your constant review. Glad to see you still enjoy my poems. Don't worry, there will be more requiems coming, once I get all the ideas plotted.
DraculasLover: Thanks for reviewing anyway. Heh, the humorous thing is that the character you know-Jaffar-isn't even in the game that my poems are centered in.
This poem expresses Myrrh's feelings and thoughts about her foster father and his absence.
Disclaimer: I own the poems. Not the game. Savy?
Oh Father,
How I miss you so.
Why did you have to go?
We were separated for so long
And I feared that I might never see you again,
Even though you were known as the Great Dragon,
I couldn't help but to fear
For your safety
Oh Father,
You were the man I loved the most
And admired the most.
You were gentle and kind,
But so very strong indeed.
I cannot think of a nobler man than you.
For who else adopted me
When I was young?
Who else took care of me and
Showered me with love?
It was my everlasting dream to be
Just like you.
Oh Father,
I can remember our reunion.
Back in our home,
Back in the Darkling Woods.
You were so different,
So strange.
You weren't the father I remember,
You weren't the father I know.
It didn't take long for
The truth to settle in.
You had become one of the undead,
And I was the one given the task
To set you
Free.
Oh Father,
I am sorry,
The truth hurts so much.
I didn't want it end this way,
This wasn't supposed to happen.
Why did this happen the way it did?
Why was I force to kill you?
I know you were already dead but
It still pained me to see you
As one of the undead.
Oh Father,
I don't know how I did it
But I did.
Perhaps it was the courage you gave me
From all those years,
Or perhaps I knew
What you would have wanted me to do.
So I obliged
To your wishes.
Scattering your corpse's ashes
Into the wind
So you could be free
Forever.
Oh Father
I wish I was stronger.
I wish I was capable enough to save you
From what fate had in store
For you.
But you were out of reach,
Out of grasp,
Out of my control.
I could do nothing save for to end your life
As an undead.
Oh Father,
Gone forever, forever gone,
I cannot bring you back.
It is heart wrenching to understand
That I will never see you again.
Never again will I see
Your smile,
Your face,
Your compassion,
Your strength,
Your nobility.
Never again will I hear
Your voice,
Your laughter,
Your scolding,
Your songs,
Your silent lullabies.
Oh Father,
I am sure one day
I will see you again.
One day we shall meet again
And continue where we left off.
Till then, I will live my life
Every day
And become the person you dreamed of me
Becoming.
Oh Father,
I hope you are watching
Watching over me.
Please guide me
As I make my way through the world
And into the unknown.
I promise I will make you proud,
Father,
I know that I will always miss you,
But even so,
I promise to uphold your dream.
Watch me, Father,
Watch me carry out your legacy.
Sorry about the excessively elongate update, I absolutely had no idea on how to start off the poem with Myrrh and her father. It was barely mentioned in the game and I just had to conjure up a whole bunch of guess and ideas. Same thing was done with "A Mother's Requiem" but it was a heck of a lot easier.
