Poem - So Far Below

For all the things we went through.
Memories come and go.
Hoping to live through these past thoughts.
Why do I seem a step below?

Why did you leave this place forever?
Left sitting in my dreams.
Wallowing in my horrid pain.
This rips at my hearts seams.

I swear this is not the end yet.
Listening to the raven's crow.
Hear the echo of my many calls?
Why do I seem a step below?

Now I hope I find you here.
My hearts is back in one.
When I find you I shall end this.
This is how I won.

Here it comes, I won't stop it now.
I hope you feel really low.
As low as the dirt below my feet.
Why do I feel a step below?

The deed is done, you won't be back.
I hope you felt everything.
Felt the pain of this like I did.
Here is your golden ring.


This was written for my creative writing class.  Our assignment was to write a ballad with either alternating repeating lines or a chorus part. I chose the repeating line. The rhyming scheme was hard to use and I kept messing up the rhyme. I am really happy with the end result.  I did write this from the eyes of a character in a book I was reading at the time. Enjoy.
