Ode to My Grace

'ODE TO MY GRACE'

A glance thro' my eyes

Reflect upon the light of love, of pain, of hatred.

Pictured upon the veil of injustice

That tore my heart into pieces.

Flashing across memories that I lived,

It's hard to forget, the one whom you loved;

For whom you've given up everything.

It's hard to forget.

My mind swayed as it whirled me back to the past

I recalled all life's tragedies

That befell upon our lives.

We use to tire the sky with our talk,

The time flying by, across the sky.

I recall those unforgettable memories again.

Aye, thou left this world,

But thou can never leave my heart...

Cause you've promised. Don't you remember?

Nothing can compromise, the loss of the one

Whom you cared for,

When she disappears; everything you've sacrificed for.

Walking along streets that shone

My reflection reminding me along

As I kept thinking, thinking of her.

These were the saddest days of my life.

I glanced at the sun, tears in my eyes.

And I wished her back, back to where she belonged.

Then the rain came down,

Mingled with my tears.

A vision flooded by

I saw her, standing by my side.

Motioned me not to cry.

She said that,

Her pain was as much as mine.

Tears flooded her cheeks,

Words soaked in our throats

I cannot measure how I felt.

It was as if she was for real.

My eyes sparkled through the rain

Taking in the view, as much as I could.

She smiled at me, gave me a heavenly touch.

A soothing sensation ran thro' my body.

And all pain seemed to have abandoned me.

After what seemed like ages, she said goodbye.

But I didn't wish her to go.

I tried to cling on to her, tried to hold her hand

But yet she faded thro' the rain.

I lay speechless by the sidewalk,

The moon began to light up my face.

I resolved I won't give up apace,

Whilst my mind could feel her presence.

Thence I took a solemn oath,

I would never let you walk away from my heart.

And your words still reverberate in my mind.

I guess it's time to be strong and face our destinies

For we may long, but we cannot change our tragedies.

Not until we decide to chaste it to our ecstasies.

I kneel down alone as I proceed along

Unto the grave, your name engraved.

Put down the flowers, I brought along

Reliving the memories we spent all along

I then recalled a long discarded song:

"If I were a bird, then you were my wings,

And without my wings, I cannot fly."
