A Beautiful Angel


She was a beautiful angel

Sent from the stars above

She was unselfish and kind

As gentle as a dove

I fell through her Church roof

Onto the flower bed

And when I first saw her eyes

I forgot about any pain and dread

Then the ShinRa pigs took her

Before she had a chance to flee

And I vowed to myself

To not rest until she was once again free

So we went to the Shinra building,

To rescue she who had stolen my heart

I had hardly known her one day

And yet knew she had not yet played her part.

We rescued her eventually

And a fire wolf as well

However, I cared for nothing

But the fact that she was safe and well

We escaped from Midgar after that

Travelling for days on end

But the hunger and the fatigue were always forgotten

For injuries were something Aeris could tend

After that, we gathered more friends

But they hardly past my mind

It was only the flower girl

She was truly one of a kind

We soon learned that Sephiroth

My old idol and now our foe

Had headed to the Temple of the Ancients

And Aeris became lost in woe.

We had to go to Gold Saucer to get the keystone

And ended up on a date

It was then that I realised I loved her

And had to tell her before it was too late

I decided to wait

Until we had saved the Planet

But things went wrong soon after

When Sephiroth used me as a puppet

She disappeared after that

And came to me in a dream that night

She told me of her plan before she left

And I could not stop shouting after my light

I gathered everyone together

Our mission was clear

We had to find and rescue

The woman I held so dear.

We found her praying

And I felt hope fill me once more

Until Sephiroth descended with his sword,

Leaving a mess of blood and gore.

Then she was falling,

I caught her before she hit the floor,

My own tears falling as I realised

the woman I loved would smile no more.
