Melancholy Life

Your arctic eyes forever haunt me in my dreams
Life has grown melancholy without you
I loved you more than I ever realized, it seems

It is a love I know my family deems
as improper - that I need someone new -
Your arctic eyes forever haunt me in my dreams

I remember your touch back then and what it still means
to us both; that our love was real and true
I loved you more than I ever realized, it seems

Sometimes it feels like my heart might tear at its seams
when I look at our son and see you too
Your arctic eyes forever haunt me in my dreams

And when our son smiles - the way he beams -
I always see you in him through and through
I loved you more than I ever realized, it seems

Other times, I often miss our blissful screams
I think of those things and more in all I do
You arctic eyes forever haunt me in my dreams
I loved you more than I ever realized, it seems

    She actually chooses to leave him...and she doesn't know she's pregnant at the time. Glad you like it, darling.

    Why does he always have to LEAVE the little bastards?! But this was SO beautiful and there's so much emotion and imagery and I especially like the 'the way he beams' bit. Yes. Holy crap I LOOOOOOOOVEEEEE this. *bookmarks* Ahhh.

    Awh! This is, like, crazy stalker psycho woman talking about the father of her child! ... ~Blink.~ Not that Kira is ANY of those things, mind you.

    And.. Uhh'.. ~Blinked some more.~ Yep.. I don't know what else to say.. e e; OTHER THAN.. I can see a real improvement in your villanelles. They're, like, better flowing and stuff.. Much better than mine. o o;

    SO AHAHAHAH; accept ittttt!!! ~Crazy eyes of mind control.~

    Oh, you silly girl. How the hell would Zon die? By the looks of this poem, Kira certainly doesn't kill him!

    No no no! I get the son bit but...Zon doesn't die, does he? I'm thinking that and I'm hoping not. Wonderful villanelle, honey. But I'm to cry if Zon DOES die.
