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.

First attempt at fanfiction. Inspired from this ugly, slimy, big-eared troll otherwise known as a history teacher, a dreary lesson on The Anglo-Dutch Treaty, and a desperate resort to keep from falling asleep.
