Fan Fiction ❯ Conan's Lament ❯ Conan's Lament ( One-Shot )

I stand and watch

The night's full moon

Bathed in its light

Drowning in its light

~~

Once such a moon

Meant new beginnings

A secret meeting

Her face brilliant

Awash in its glow

Wind-chapped cheek

Pressed to my breast

~~

Two lovers

Enjoying life

Like the moon

At its fullest

~~

The moon laughed with us

Earth-bound mortals

Alive in the moment

Swept away

In our love

~~

We believed our lives

To be at the fullest

Where can one go from there?

~~

Nowhere

~~

The full moon will wane

And the moment is lost

Nowhere to go but down

No place for life in death

~~

When next I saw her

Awash in moonlight

Golden locks aglow

Clenched to my breast

Her blood on my lips

Blue eyes glazed

Bloodless pallor blinding

~~

The moon laughed at us

~~

Mortality

Eternity

Denying either

Consumed by both

~~

I turn from my window

The moon still plays

Casting shadows on the wall

It remembers

And knows me

For it has been naught

But a silent observer

~~

Unable to live

Unable to die

Just watching

Countless millennia

~~

As am I.
