Echoes [Poem]

AN: Here is my entry for the Otaku's Halloween Writer's Jam. Hope everyone likes it! ~~

Cold spirit lingering
Her devilish smile fading
Because his echo is still there
She glances, everywhere

The echo of her past is nowhere to be seen
How long has it been?
Days, months, or years
The time has come, to dry her tears

Where is he, her failed attempt?
Did her darling not know her concept?
She only needed to end his life
To be triumph in her own strife

She had him once, cornered
With the shining metal of the blade
For only a few years, had he adorned
Her life and future, now only to be made?

Nevertheless, he is being stubborn, as always
He wishes to live but must not
A new beginning, she has sought
But with him alive, it is not so

With his existence, echoing
It is not fair, that he can still be there
All her life, apart from her, living and walking
Without a care, his existence, ever echoing

He is gone, safe for now in the light
Safe for now, his echoes quieting, out of her sight
But the echoes of his footsteps will forever linger
And be there, day and evening, on this Hallow's Eve night

Echoes, echoing, ever echoing…
The echoes of her past lost with him
The buried love ever deepening
The echoes, leaving on without her

Echoes

End
