Description
This is my part of an art trade / request with .

Aching with love,
I want to see you smile.
You with a past of burden,
Let me bring you fire
To guide your path.

Pained with sadness and loss,
I cannot smile
But for a moment with you.
How can I express
The horrors of my past?

Forget the pain,
For once, my dear.
Run with me, run with me.
We can run from it all,
Together, you and I.

But to leave the past behind,
What about her memory?
I should have been there,
I could have saved her.
Why didn’t I?

Some things in life are
Out of our control,
Like these feelings for you,
And the feelings you hold deep inside
Where no one else can see.

I’ll hide that sorrow,
And smile for you just once.
Maybe in time it will be easier,
But for now, just once.
Just once.

NOTE: The poem is a conversation between the two. Lani (red mare) speaks first, and then Ror replies, etc. OK, enjoy.
