Remembrance
The days of endless dreaming
Joyous afternoons
Endless laughter
Have come to an end
The day I took my last breath
A fragile bridge
Goes over the glistening water
Where animals of all sorts
Come and gather around
Dazzled by the view
That is were I unleash my dreams
The secrets no one knows
My most wanted desires
Unforgivable memories
My whole life is spread upon this bridge
I would spend countless nights
Imagining my fairy tale
Happily ever after that are to come
And princes’ to make me a princess
Having my perfect moments
The last of my time
I was dreaming at night
Looking at the water over the bridge
Closed my eyes to make a wish
Then I fell…
I sunk down to the bottom
Slowly and ever so carefully
Nobody was there to witness
To lend me a hand
As my feet touched the end
My air was shortening
Creating me only a memory
I saw the moonlight shining
Wanted so desperately to reach out and touch it
But I have taken my last breath
My memories that have filled the land
Secrets that only the clouds knew
Desires the water only heard
Flowing in the air
In remembrance of me
