The End

The End

Please,Β 
hold me in your arms tonight
for my soul is fading,
devoid of light.

Your love may not keep me here
but so it helps to tame the fear.

Your lips, your eyes, your smile
make me wish to stay awhile.Β 

But alas my dear, that cannot be
for this life is draining from me.Β 

So please,Β 
hold me in your arms tonight
your eyes I do hope
to be my last sight.Β

I am a video game nerd and this song is from one that literally shook me to the core after I played it. I became so invested in the story I kid you not I bawled harder than I ever have at the end. Multiple times. (I actually have played through the first and second of the trilogy 5 or 6Β times but only finished the last 2 times, completing it up until the final mission cause i'm still to this day in denial about the ending lol)Β

An elegant and melancholy love song; leaving the reader with a bereft sense of longing.

As with everything you write, Lily...this is very touching.

WOW!! LILY!....I suppose I amΒ bitΒ  biased here by being a musician/songwriter by profession .....but I can say, without a doubt, that this, lyrically, has the potential for becoming a top 40 hit because:
1.) the subject matter is so relevant/topical
2.) the background story is SO appealing to theΒ major percentage of the 'music-buying' public ~ which are ages 13- 25 (the video game story is stellar)
3.) The metering of the lyric-line is perfection ~ with a built in chorus.
Needless to say dear poet sister, I've PINNED thisΒ for what it is.... Creative Perfection!!

WELL DONE!!......LOVE and ROCKETS!!.....T xo ?βœ³βœ΄β˜€β™₯??

Tony...it’s real coincidental that you say that because I was talking to Merrill about it and said I was wishing I had a piano and guitar while I was writing it. I’ve always wanted to write music but I’ve never been able to get instruments and such to do so. I’m really so honored that you thought/think so highly of this piece it truly means the world to me :)Β

My Dear Lily,

Oh my God!Β  These words have touched me deeply, and inspired me to write a poem, for they are the ones of my great friend's dearly departed Daughter, who died in her Husband's arms after just six months of marriage.Β  I'm going to work on it this week, because it will be quite lengthy.

Thank you so much for sharing this.

Hugs,Peace and Love,
Larry xxx
