Longing for Lost Love

by Rebecca Schattner
Where is my dream? Where is my knight?
:Where is the one I've loved all my lives?
:Two worlds severed by ages of pain
:Two hearts once one, now split in twain 
And what could bring him back to me?
:For never was I a great beauty
:Knight of the Shining Ones was he,
:And I, a fairy commoner be
But return to save me he has sworn
:To take me from where dreams are mourned
:And together on that day
:Returning through the gates of Fae
Yet I fear he may not come
:The stars glow red and blood does run
:Winds blow cold and my heart grows old
:And through babe's mouths the end is told
The sword is lost, the king is gone
:Hope is sheared and life is torn
:A knife stuck deep inside my chest
:And even with my dying breath
:I close my eyes and dare to dream
:My love's warm touch embracing me
And in death there is no pain
:It comforts me as I wane
:To know I shall return again
:Mortal shell and fairy mien
:To await my golden knight
:After centuries, lives of plight
:Finally all shall be made right
