How could I have done such pain?

And this blade of mine hungers again for blood

I do not wish to kill

This corruption in my mind has robbed me of my will

And I long for a release from the pain

If I could I would let him strike me down

I know on me he does frown

I cannot help this evil inside; it has pushed me in a corner

And made me cry

I want to kill it and fight at his side and save the world

And prove I have a good side

My eyes glow and I feel the flame all over again

I feel the heat of the fire and the warmth of blood

I look around it is the same town from so long ago

NO! My mind screams how could you? He was my friend.

I remember well my fights with the blonde haired boy, so determined to prove himself

to me. 

But I have killed his hopes and dreams

I even heard his mother scream as I killed her

How could I?

I am a monster; no it is the thing that has my mind

And I never shall free myself of it

So I shall let him come and kill me

Yes his blade will strike and I will not fight back

I will let him release me…

Poor boy I am sorry for the pain

I know as I weep in a corner of my mind that I

will die by his blade and his hand

He deserves it.

For it is all that I Sephiroth, the now tainted and corrupted

can do for him

And as his blade finds it mark I whisper

Thank you for freeing me…
