The Black Prince
As I walk through the gardens
Of Castle Renais
I notice the beauty
Of our kingdom's rebirth
I'm surrounded for miles
By the loveliest of blooms
Fragrantly they blossom
Bringing cheer to the world
There's a breathtaking amaryllis
And gorgeous salvia
Mixed together with roses
And lilies galore
But one plant in particular
Haunts me and I fear
If I touch its blossoms
They'd cut into my soul
They call it the black prince
Its flowers deep red
Its name brings back memories
Of some one who's dead
He was Grado's Black Prince
Or so I was told
The purest of intentions
That were misunderstood
He had love for his father
And the world all around
Selflessly he searched to no end
To find a remedy for death itself
But death won the battle
Lyon's soul was enslaved
By the darkest of shadows
Known to the world as the Demon King
I watched as he suffered
On the day of his death
My heart became heavy
As he looked into my eyes
"Eirika, I love you"
His last words cut deep
And not until this moment
Had I time to grieve
To mourn the death
Of some one so dear
I have so many words
I wanted him to hear
I stand before the black prince
As I begin to cry
My heart crying out
For the reason why
Why did Lyon have to die?
He was so innocent, so pure
This is the most powerful pain
That I have ever endured
The black prince just stands there
It does not reply
I know it's not Lyon
To think it is would be insanity
Yet somehow I feel
Lyon's presence near
Clouds cast a shadow
As raindrops touch the earth
It feels almost as though
Lyon is mourning
I can still feel the guilt
That had burdened his heart
"Lyon"
I speak his name aloud
"I know you can hear me"
Though I'm unsure of how
"Lyon..."
So much has been left unsaid
So many things I want you to know
Yet I'm uncertain where to begin
These feelings for you
Are the strongest I've felt
And there are no words
With the power to express how I feel
Finally I look to the sky
Raindrops mix with teardrops
As I fall to my knees
I've lost control over my physical being
"Lyon I love you!"
The words escape from my soul
I wish I had the chance
To tell you before you faded away
I loved you
Since the day we first met
There was something about you
That words can't explain
"I love you Lyon"
For now and forever
And I promise that one day
We will be together
Just make me one promise
Please wait for me
Lacuna Lily: -sob- poor Lyon... I cried when Lyon died and again at the end after the credits when they showed him meeting Eirika and Ephraim. Anywho, what do ya think? I hope you liked it. The black prince is a type of salvia I saw in a flower seed catalogue. Please review!
