Her Light

I'm afraid she has left me for good.
I've searched for her desperately, but it's hopeless.

My body grows cold and numb when she's not around,
And my mind races with memories filled with her vision and scent.

She'd gaze endlessly into the depths of my soul,
And when our eyes would meet for a fleeting moment, I'd overflow with every emotion known to man.

Her lips would ever so gently kiss my clouded mind,
And with just that simple gesture she'd chase away all my nightmares and fears.

She would always look over my shoulder,
Constantly whispering beautiful thoughts into my sensitive ears.

Her soft delicate voice would always sing verses of encouragement,
Bringing tears of joy to my gleaming eyes.

She would slowly lean down and breathe life back into my lungs,
Helping me continue living for another day, another hour.

Her presence would completely overwhelm me
As she'd wrap me in her loving infinite embrace.

All she ever did was think of me and feed me her brilliant divine love,
And I took it for granted because I'm an ignorant fool.

Now I'm completely alone in this cold dark world,
Lost and struggling to find my path.

If only her light could shine down on me once more.
So what can I say about this? It was inspired by a plethora of things. It started out with me thinking about how I feel like I've lost my writing muse. There have been so many times in the past two months where I have sat down and tried to write. I'd always start something but I couldn't ever seem to finish it. I'd always get stuck after awhile. The words just wouldn't come to me.

Another thing I was thinking about while writing this was FLCL. I re-watched it again for what must have been the 35th time, if not more. Seriously FLCL never gets old. I just love it so much! And I couldn't help but think of the final episode when Haruko and Kanti disappear. Then when she finally returns Naota flings himself at her crying into her chest asking her why she left. That scene kept replaying in my mind over and over again. It's just so touching and sentimental.

And because I re-watched FLCL I naturally started listening to The Pillows a lot more. I love them so much and how they've still managed to keep that grungy alternative 90's sound alive.

Another inspiration came in the form of a Manhwa called Flowers Of Evil by Lee Hyeon-Sook. The story revolves around fraternal twins, Se-Joon and Se-Wa. They have a dark, complex relationship. Se-Wa, a girl considered psychotic by others, is attached to her brother, Se-Joon, maybe a little too attached. In her eyes, there is only her brother and no one else. But does Se-Joon dislike Se-Wa's overwhelming attention towards him as much as he seems or does he actually like the fact that she relies only on him. Maybe he really does enjoy playing the role of a tragic hero.

Finally when all these different sources came together I was able to write something. Best part about it is that I actually really like how it turned out. Anyways let me know what you guys think. I'd love some feedback. =)
