Poem: Love Song of a Man
It wasn't supposed to be this way...
Once
the daughter of a friend,
Then
a companion,
Then
something more.
Time
changed us both.
A
predetermined course
Working
along side an ever-changing world.
At
first a charge,
And
then a savior -- in more ways than one.
How
could I have known that the key-
The
key to ultimate power--
The
key to ultimate beauty--
How
could I have known that they existed as one?
The
golden goddess with me
Quickly
turned red,
Proving
her mortality,
Never
able to be with me again…
It
wasn't supposed to be this way,
It
was supposed to be me.
AN: Alright, you guys probably don't believe what I said in my last update since I've updated in less than 24 hours XD Two reasons behind that. One: Hayashi Azuma kindly asked if I would post one more drabbleish thing. Two: I've been meaning to post this piece for a long time. (Let's say along the lines of two months ; ) I had to do a poetry unit on Modernism for English right after Chapter 58 of the manga came out (we were required to write 4 original poems) and this was the result for my free verse portion of the assignment. I think this best represent's my feeling towards royai and how my writing style has grown in the past year. Enjoy all!
