My Lyra - Khaye Ashley
Our eyes met under the light of stars
With your sparkle stares you captured my heart
Little did I know this would be the start of unending scars
Of the love we share that will forever be apart
We see each other after the sun sets
Your voice calling my name still plays to my ears
Spending time with you until the end of horizon will never be a regret
It was your love that change my fears
This my prayer in darkness
Please stay with me
Without you in my life there is emptiness
Your voice, your presence is my turning key
Without you I’m lost at sea
So please stay, stay with me
Remember those nights we’d lay on the grass
Stargazing the stars above us
Waiting for shooting stars to pass
Wishing that the universe will abide to us
I’m still here waiting every night
Hoping you’ll come back
But seems like this is a hopeless case
Of someone I will never be of sight
Our memories slowly fades to black
Fading that I can’t even feel your embrace
This my prayer in darkness
Please stay with me
Without you in my life there is emptiness
Your voice, your presence is my turning key
Without you I’m lost at sea
So please stay, stay with me
When will this waiting game come to an end?
Are you coming back?
I already finish counting all the stars
The scars are deeply down on me
Heavy heart, I fall out track
We all gonna hurt right now
This my prayer in darkness
Please stay with me
Without you in my life there is emptiness
Your voice, your presence is my turning key
Without you I’m lost at sea
Doors are not closing yet
For you my Lyra
So please stay, stay with me
Please give a detailed explanation about the meaning and main idea of this poem.:
The poem that I created tells about our loved ones who we lost at some point in our lives. Whether it be from death, heartbreak or end of relationships, it always leave some missing pieces in us. My poem is sending a message that there will always be hope, like the one in the poem who is waiting for his love to come back at the same place where they met. No matter how long we are apart from those people , there is always a possibility that we can be with them.
Please explain your writing and thought process regarding this poem.:
I wrote this poem for a competition in our school, and because I wrote it at 2am, my mind is not so creative in thinking a title. Our class name is Lyra so I just made it as a title for my poem. Lyra is actually a constellation and the whole thought of my poem has a relation to it, Lyra is a constellation and at the same time it was the narrator's nickname for his loved one.
Why did you choose to write this poem?:
It was for our school competition and the theme is something about love and I felt like I should express love through my own way.
