Arise Fair Maiden of the Dark

by Amaranthine   Jun 27, 2008


Arise fair maiden, now comes the star of the night
Your hells have awakened , but unlike everyone else you must fight!
The pain in thy soul is a cut so very deep
This wound can't be healed,poor immortal can never sleep

Why is it that her heart always survives?

A heart being ripped to shreds by a thousand demons one by one
Unable to fall into a slumber before the rising sun
Some are torn more than you could ever believe
The teasing wind blowing in her long hair must be naive

Why is it that her heart always survives?

Toying with this end you shall never have
The devil has you locked in a cage and he simply doesn't give a damn.
Something terrible keeps you in this battle as tears roll down your face
Searching all across this dead life, only to find that everlasting grace

Why is it that her heart always survives?

Following in the footsteps of her shadow ( Only mine)
Growing ever more stronger, It will just have to take some time.
All alone in this desolate planet, always to keep myself alive
Like the rising tide, beating hearts grow but never die

Why is it that her heart always survives?

    `First stanza: Beautiful opening. I interpreted this as her nightmares and her fears being her hells. She lost a love, and now they've come alive--but unlike those who cry and merely give up, she needs to stand up to take it, accept it, get over and move on stronger than everybody else. But the pain is so deep, that it keeps her awake at night with thoughts of him, and the emotional stress is just killing her.

    Why is it that her heart always survives?
    `A strong repeated line. Absolutely brilliant. It shows that no matter what you do, you will ALWAYS stay alive. Your heart will continue to thrive, so you might as well do what's better for you rather than live in the past.

    `believe* typo.

    naeve
    `I think you meant "naive."

    `Third stanza: The "damn" which is normally considered a curse word, is extremely powerful. It emphasizes the fact that he doesn't care -- and I'm assuming the devil are her memories, and the boy that thrashed her soul. Your ending line shines light upon the darkness of the piece.

    And your final stanza, is a great end to the piece. She's walking in a shadow, but she's getting through it. I imagine her walking on glass and ashes--but nonetheless, the rising tide will wipe the stains away and her will will never die.

    Lovely write, dear.
