"If I can't last"

If my body was to crumble and fade,<br />
yet my soul still lie beside you<br />
Would you carry my essence in your heart,<br />
and fight for the failure of my survival?<br />
Could you catch that last glimpse<br />
you knew of me in your vague memories?<br />
Would you move on with your life<br />
or grieve until your eyes<br />
could only see what has become to mine?"<br />
<br />

My elfen maiden Tiy Eldia hanging on the last ribbons of hope. This is just a little sample of what i might consider doing for a series of dramatic pieces based on my story. ... or start a comic strip. If Tiy does not live to be 100 years of age, her people will live forever on earth. She has been defeated so many times... but now she has found love. And will her love keep her strong enough for survival? I myself love is one of the strongest emotions a person can have. It's common in romances, but I myself am a sucker to romance- the classic kind, a forbidden love, a hero and yehhhhhhh okay..... :blahblah:<br />
<br />
I'm beginning to come up with backgrounds for my pieces. Especially ones as strong as this. I still have more characters to design, and more story. Sooooo it won't be too thorough for a while. I'm really fond of how this one came out. I want to put it in a frame. :lol: I even wrote that poem for it- titled "If I can't last."<br />
