Chereads / Water Balloons / Chapter 10 - Moonlight

Chapter 10 - Moonlight

The moonlight cast by the song plays itself through again,

Every note and every cord strikes the vivid image of memory,

A memory that was so beautiful words cannot bring justice,

The feeling remains the same as the song continues onward.

Vivid recall,

A flash of understanding deeper than any language,

Cutting through the darkness to remind the lost,

that one so beautiful may never forgive,

Such a thing as her is undeserved.

The holy books of man claim that the all knowing one forgives,

If she could only glimpse a single moment of the true feeling,

She means more than any petty god,

Eternity gladly cast aside for one last chance,

One more gentle kiss,

One last gaze into those autumn stained eyes,

Even just one more embrace,

To be held tightly,

Hoping that it will never end,

That the choices made can be returned.

The sounds play,

Showing the path that lead astray,

The evil that left this scar of eternal sorrow,

Regret so powerful,

The longing,

The love once denied,

Together they form,

As the song plays on,

Filling me with such powerful pain,

Such powerful pleasure at the thought of her,

Just one last touch of her fingers,

Lighting my skin with ecstasy.

You said we were to grow old together,

Evil turned it otherwise,

That evil has been fought,

The demon banished,

Still the loss is there.

I cry in my sleep still,

Those tears of loss that visit my dreams,

So frequently they come,

Sometimes you are there with me,

I smile at you,

I hug you so tightly as I cry uncontrollably,

"I'm so sorry I hurt you all those times.

I'm sorry I let evil take me from your embrace.

I want to grow old by your side.

I want to see our child smile up at us one day.

A little boy with short spiky brown hair,

Wearing a green soccer shirt,

He has your beautiful eyes.

I would give my life for only one more moment with you,

Just by your side.

Then I could die in any way,

Happy,

With a peace filled smile.

I love you.

I've loved you for 5 years.

I'll never stop loving you.

I'm just so happy to see you here.

I can't help but cry."

You hold me tightly through those tears,

"It's going to be alright."

You say to me,

" I love you too,

My Somnium."

Even though you aren't there,

Even though I awake with a tear stained face,

I smile and feel at peace,

For I know I have seen you if only in sleep.

My hands shake as I write this piece,

Hoping you read this.

Please,

Even now my eyes fill with tears at the song,

I miss you so much.

I love you more than anything.

I wish I could just see your smile again,

Hold your hand in mine,

Feel at peace knowing I will always have your love.

The song draws to an end,

There is still much to say,

I hope that one day I will see you again so that I can tell you.

I love you.
