Title: Violin
Author: Lady Murasaki
Warnings: dark, implied death
Disclaimer: not mine, not for profit
Notes: I didn't write this with any particular chara in mind, although it would probably fit Quatre since he's the one who plays violin in the show. My choice would be Duo though.
Note: Ack... another depressing piece from yours truly >.<

Violin by Lady Murasaki

A human life is like a solo violin
Tender, fragile, barely audible
Thin, lonely
Often makes one cry
And ends abruptly -
Sometimes on much too low a note

I finish playing my part tonight
The chords are torn, my fingers bleeding
My soul tormented by the pain
Of music that the instrument evokes
My solo almost over
Time for others to take up the light

I know when I step off the stage
The notes will fade, dissipate like smoke
And my solo is forgotten
Even before its echo dies away
It's time, the piece is almost finished...
My tired hands can't hold the violin.

~~*Owari*~~

So, how was it? It's my first poem so constructive criticism would be much appreciated!

With that...C&C pleeeeeeeease *puppy face*
