would the stars cry
[01.23.01] » by ScaRR
In loving memory
of Aeris Gainsborough,
true saviour of the
Planet,
your innocence, faith,
and immense courage
will touch the lives
of its people,
forever.
would the stars
cry
by ScaRR
grieve.
Would the stars cry
Tear glistening rays
in grief
And weep?
And shimmer dolefully
Upon the placid lake
Where she was forlornly
laid
To sleep?
Would the Planet mourn
Croon in misery
And moan in sorrow
For the loss of a
godsend?
Aggrieved voices dirge
Heartbroken
For a ravaged wound
that would never mend.
It laments in despair
Pines for her soothing
calm
Yearning in melancholy
nostalgia
Sadly reminiscent
Of her angelic charm.
Longing to see her
sweet smile again
To once more hear
her gentle voice
Each woeful day was
crystal clear
As the shattered moment
she made her choice.
She chose her cruel
twist of fate
And embraced her star-crossed
destiny
Bequeathing a noble
sacrifice
Knowing there was
no other way
Unafraid to give her
life.
Accepting harsh reality
With innocent hope
Banishing malfeasance
in heartfelt faith
Undaunted by adversity
Dowering more than
she could cope.
She unleashed her
bravest fight
In her struggle to
save mankind
And her battle for
deliverance against evil
Fearless in the face
of peril
Audaciously refusing
to be oppressed
By foreordination's
harsh grind.
She shone in glorified
radiance
And remains resplendent
still
Undoing wrong with
courageous right
Beaming with untarnished
love
She shines
Forever…
Heaven's beacon of
light
The merciless sword
plunged in through her…
And yet
She felt no pain.
The sparkling emeralds
gradually dim
Never to twinkle again.
Time may heal the
pain…
But the gushing hurt
Never ceases.
A heroine lost is
painfully unforgettable
The wretchedness only
increases.
Why did you leave,
Aeris?
Where did you go
The world is silently
deploring
Your revered comrades
miss you so…
But it is too late
For regret
Too late for remorseful
contrition
And too late to save
her now…
Tears are shed endlessly
But crying won't bring
her back anyhow…
Rest soundly in peace
Beloved angel,
Unveil your wings
and fly…
Your body may never
rise again
But in the hearts
of the people
And in the memory
of the Planet…
You never died.
