Author's Note: Nearly each stanza is supposed to reflect something from a different character, can you guess who's who?

Shadow of Nothing
Crimson crust,
Broken trust
Nowhere to be found.
Fragile heart,
Torn apart
Shattered to the ground.
Flooding tears,
Falling fears
Windows to your soul.
Buried love,
Wingless dove
Never to be whole.
Feathered petals,
Worthless medals,
Scars for memories.
Songs of past,
Not to last,
Haunting melodies.
Sunny days
Set ablaze
Missiles streaking down...
Faulty prime
For all your crime,
This one takes the crown
Shrouded sight,
Faithless knight
Caught up in a dream.
Floating Earth,
For what it's worth,
Broken at the seam.
Greiver strife
Brought to life,
Driving home your doubt.
Mystic death
Stole your breath,
Orphans brought about.
Top in class,
Suppressed sass,
Would-be prodigy.
Caught in past,
Free at last,
Accept my 'pology?
