Keepsake

Running through this wide open field
Sun smiling down on me to warm me up
All around is green and blue as far as the eye can see
How can I ask for anymore?
This is the best part of life
Out of the corner of my eye
The darkness catches my attention
But I'll keep on because I'll be fine
Then something more spectacular catches my eye
It's the most wonderful creation ever
I go up to it and instantly a trust and bond is formed
I take this new found keepsake with me
We grow closer and closer as the darkness circles around
We even go to the frontlines of fighting it
We conquer and because of it, we are inseperable
Then one day, my keepsake finds it's own desires
I pull it back to me...
Darkness is coming...
Please stay so we can continue as I want us to be
Seeing the hurt in its eyes, what can I do?
Running through the field, sun warming me, I realize what to do
"Please let it go, it's not happy"
"But, it's all I have"
"Do you not have me? I warm your heart and soul everyday!"
"I do have you, your all I need, but..."
"But...am I not enough?? I send the winds to hug you, the fields to play with you...what do you need? I have given you life!"
"I know...I'm sorry..help me to let go of this prized possession"
"I will son...trust me"

As I walk through the fields
I open my arms to let this go...
Watching the happiness embrace this keepsake, it makes me smile
"I'll cherish you forever"
At that moment, darkness fades and the sun begins to warm me as the wind wraps around me
Maybe someday we will be the same as old times....
