The Tragic Tale of Leroy and Lillian

The Tragic Tale of Leroy and Lillian

A Poem by Mckenzie
"

a sad tale

"

In a sullied world, there was a light

The beautiful love of Leroy and Lillian

Never was there a love like Leroy and Lillian

A love so pure, so innocent, it burned so bright

 

Even the angels above pause

To stare at the young pair, who walked hand in hand

Because there was never a love like Leroy and Lillian

 

Peace was shattered, one fateful day

When war erupted throughout the land and Leroy was called

During the heat and iron chains of war

The envious Death took its chance and snatched the soul of Leroy

 

Under the full, round orange moon

Word was sent to Lillian whose grief was so strong

It buckled her knees and tears flood like cold relentless rain

 

Consumed by a devastation that made demons fall silent

Lillian sought the cold creature of Death to beg the soul of her love

For a thousand days and night

Lillian traveled the earth with pleas that broke the hearts of the angels above

Begging the cruel master of Death to return the love of her life

 

However, Death with a heart made of ice refused her pleas

Instead, he refused to take her soul, and she lived,

And lived,

And lived,

And lived,

While her love rotted in the grave,

Until he was nothing but brown, dusty bones

 

Lillian lived until time changed the world

Her sobs echoed under the orange moon and yellow sun

However, she remained at the gates of death

 

Death never responded to her pleas

And there Lillian remained, her love burning bright

Awaiting the return of her love

Enduring the harsh endless circle of life

 

In a sullied world, there was a light

The beautiful love of Leroy and Lillian.

Never was there a love like Leroy and Lillian

A love so pure, so innocent, it burns so bright
