AN: My Grandfather was a great poet. I hope I do him proud. Please enjoy.

Winter was coming, and the days grew ever short

The nights were chilly, and the days warmed her not

For it was her fate, the fate of that they knew not

To forever be forgotten, to die and wither and rot

But alas the reason they condemned her, had been her saviour many a time

For her body was her best defence, being born her only crime

Abomination they called her, everything and nothing their eyes could say

For they could not understand her, and neither did she till this day

Many winters came and went, an her body became too much for her cell

But no one had said a word, for hollow men tell no tales

Then something fell from the roof, a peculiar doll they had thrown

Unwanted such as herself, she made the doll her own

The doll was her only solace, in a land fill with pain

Where the innocent heroes die, for the god's cruel game

But the days grew ever colder, a fact that even she couldn't deny

She prepared herself for battle, for something terrible was nigh

But she was fighting an invincible foe, one she could not harm

She collapsed from the cold, yet her conscious ever calm

Clutching her dirty doll, she awaited for the end

"Thank you" she whispered, to her one and only friend

First came darkness, and then came light

A miracle in its self, the she hadn't died

A land she had never laid eyes on, was first to greet her

Every constructs covered in white beauty, and it's inhabitance ever kinder

Yet she could not help but feel, that this was her new prison

Ones such as herself couldn't find happiness, without a known good reason

Then it occurred to her, that her doll wasn't among them

Tears came so freely, for she knew it wouldn't be the same

Now she awaits near the exit, her heart filled with ice

For the Age of the Gods to subside, and leave her false paradise

For when the flames finally fade, and only dark remained

She would walk forth without worry, to find that what she called friend.
