Sweet Nightingale
By K chan
The music swellsLeaves me behindYour story tellsAm I too kind?Emotions echoMournful trillsPain will growFor love killsSaid you knewPromised meI wasn't trueLonging to fleePoint to oneOne, no moreMustn't runSoul at warWhen they sayCannot hideI know the wayI must confideHateful fearWithout wingsHold me nearWithout rings'Nothing!' I shoutAt them allMy raging doubtA muted callCatch my legBefore I dashI may begDo something rashCage of goldSweet nightengaleYoung, yet oldStrong and frailSuch a songStilled so soonIs pain wrong?Was it a boon?Laughter fadesFrom the airScars from bladesNo longer fairBraclet chainsPull me aheadPierce my veinsA sinking dreadThe fire thereStutters, dyingEasy to careWhen you're cryingAngel lostMortal nowPaid the costDon't ask howDescribes a past relationship; I dunno if you'll be able to pick up on the hidden meanings. As much as I love vague stuff - is this *too* vague? Also a teensy bit unsure about the ending, I'm not sure I like it; it seems a bit abrupt, and I'm not sure how to change it.
