Our Final Song

by Virna Estella   Dec 14, 2006


"I will always love you,
i will never leave you alone..."--
I hear our song on the radio--
Full of promises bound by a love that you said was true.
But now I melt in different shades of blue,
Trying to dig the thoughts you left me.

Gathering my senses back,
I took out a box of our photographs,
And then I remember those days--
The finest I've ever had!
What a lovely smile to stare,
How could that happen to tear my heart away?

Need I cry a river for you?
Or should I cross the deepest oceans too?
Tell me, I'd do what pleases you
just to stay with me forever beau,
"Coz you know you mean the world to me,
So tell me what and who I have to be?

But then cold as the iceberg in winter,
It seems that you don't want another try,
'Coz when I sealed your lips with mine,
Your eyes were wide open, with no love's sign,
Just waiting for it to be over,
Not wanting me any longer.

Here in my room, our song keeps playing,
Stabbing me even more with thoughts of you straying
To another place where there is no me--
A sight you refuse to see.
Ashes-- the remains of what I believed was "we",
The proof of how pseudo sometimes love can be.

So I lay down in my bed
Where my wrist stains and bleeds,
Crying my tears of defeat
For the only man I ever need!
And in my deathbed let me left this creed--
I've loved you the way no one else ever did!

"We did it all for the glory of love"--
The last song to linger in my head,
Reminding me of the saddest day on earth
When I let go of a love I've kept for long
Through another Juliet tragedy--
A sad love story, forever gone like "we"!

Gasping for breath, searching for light,
Let me carry this final song in my flight
As I lay in my coffin without a glimpse of fright,
Bringing the love I've always thought to be right
For the man I've given all my life,
But now, I'm gently setting free.

As breathing becomes harder,
As my search for light seems to be over,
And when I can't hear our song any longer,
Just let me mourn forever
In my afterlife as I render
Your freedom, watching you fly like a kite-- a sign that I surrender...
